We play sand volleyball every weekend in Dallas, and often go to Yucatan in Coppell, Texas, but went across the street to Lone Star on Saturday.
They were having a collegiate sand volleyball tournament, so we set up our games on a back court.
They have some nets on the sides where the fences are to keep the volleyballs in, so they don’t go into the industrial stuff next to it – it’s got dense bush and a stream, I think…You’d never get your $50 volleyball back!
What was sad to me was that there was a large owl that apparently got stuck in the net and died. It’s feet were so badly wound in the net and it’s wing feathers were stuck too.
It must have happened overnight, as I would hope that someone seeing this owl stuck would have attempted to help it untangle itself.
I also think it was at night because owls mostly are out at night!
I was so saddened the entire day…
It made me think: What’s more important? A $50 sand volleyball or an owl’s life?
Just after I wrote a post about Owls in Dallas – this happens a few days later!

I hope this was an eye opening Owl post on Exotic Animal Lover! Until next time…
