Sandy Shelter Pets Soar to Safety

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Superstorm Sandy is affecting feathered air traffic in West Virginia.
Nearly 5,000 ducks have been recorded at Cheat Lake near Morgantown, according to Hoy Murphy, public information officer with the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources.
Bonaparte gulls have been sighted at Tygart Lake State Park, and the possibility of a little gull was also reported, according to DNR.
However, it's the mysterious, tiny saw-whet owl that has captivated the attention of Joey Herron of Fairmont.
