Deep in a 14-acre labyrinth of giant bird cages, each the size of a small home, amid the hoots of owls and the glow of their yellow eyes, somebody came for an Eastern Screech Owl named Simon. An intruder, or intruders, climbed through a hole cut in the fence, into the flight cage, and snatched Simon, the injured, flightless bird. Then, both Simon and its captor vanished.
That was Wednesday night, or early Thursday morning, and nobody at the Raptor Trust in Long Hill, Morris County, has since seen Simon.
