Officers Casey Crooks and Dajanick Barlow responded after a concerned citizen called about the bird, which is a short-eared owl juvenile, Kalamazoo Public Safety wrote in a Facebook post.

The two officers called the DNR, which sent an agent, WOOD reported. The trio worked to free the owl, and the DNR agent took the bird to a rehabilitation center that specializes in the care of owls.
