"We do see that one eye is slightly more dialated than the other which could be a sign of head injury possible. We'll get him to a rehab facility and see if we can't get him up and going around in rehab so we can get him back out to the wild," the officer said in a video posted on Twitter.
The owl will be sent to the Nature and Wildlife Discovery Center in Pueblo to recover.
