A flight out of Portland International Airport was delayed last week when flight crew saw a owl in a plane.
KGW reported that a barn owl was in the wheel well of a small PenAir plane.
The plane was at the airport overnight and was stored in an older hanger that typically has owls around it, according to an airline spokesman.
Crew members found the owl during pre-flight checks, according to KGW. They were able to get the owl out of the well and release it in a safe location.
After a 25-minute delay, the flight took off for Eureka, California.
