Oscar survived this ordeal, thanks to many caring people involved. He easily could have died at any step of the way. Cameron Rath, who works at the East Tawas Wastewater Treatment Plant fished him out of the treatment pond just as his head was about to go under. Cameron and his boss, George Holzworth quickly contacted Conservation Officer, Rebecca Hopkins who arranged transportation for the owl through Peggy Ridgeway and Dave and Linda Ostrander to the Wildlife Recovery Association. Oscar was treated immediately. Whew!
Oscar survived because people acted quickly and they cared. You can see the full story in the Iosco County News-Herald and Oscoda Press.
