By the Associated Press:

A great horned owl is on the road to recovery after getting stuck in the netting of a Kansas batting cage.

The owl was discovered Monday in Maize, at the Maize South High School Baseball Complex.   Police contacted a local raptor center for help.

Ken Lockwood of Eagle Valley Raptor Center talked officers through the process of removing the owl from the netting.   The owl was then placed in a carboard box and delivered to the center. The owl had some damaged feathers but is expected to heal in a few weeks.
