'Tiny but tough,' B.C. Pygmy Owl survives being hit by car

A Northern Pygmy Owl was hit by a car on Highway 97 on January 8, as witnessed by wildlife photographer Murray Zelt.
Murray Zelt initially believed the owl was dead but discovered it was alive and took it home for observation.
After a night of observation, Zelt released the owl, which flew off strongly, showing signs of recovery.
Zelt emphasizes the need for caution while driving near roads, especially during dawn and dusk, due to the increased owl activity this year.
