This great horned owl got tangled in a soccer net at Duchesne Academy last week, and a staff member cut it loose with scissors.
By Michael OConnor / World-Herald staff writer Aug 7, 2017 Updated 29 min ago
Mike Kotulak found something unexpected when he stepped up to a soccer net at Duchesne Academy on a recent morning: a great horned owl.
The big bird had gotten tangled in the net, probably the night before when swooping across the field hunting for a meal.
Kotulak, the Omaha schools facilities and grounds director, carefully cut the bird loose with scissors, but the owl didnt fly away.
He just laid there, he said.

Schools and other playgrounds should remove the nets after they finish playing
