‘Baby Hootie’ rescued from Richland city street

Richland police were called to help with a different kind of rescue this week.

A tiny baby owl they call “Baby Hootie” was found on a city street, unable to fly away.

Officers scooped the tiny feathered owlet into a box and it was given to Blue Mountain Wildlife rehabilitators in Pendleton to be cared for.
