Why saving owl’s life was so
important to Woodside woman
By Barbara Wood
Almanac Staff Writer
L
ee Ann Gilbert is very, very certain that she, with
a lot of help from the Peninsula Humane Society’s
Wildlife Care Center in Burlingame, has saved
the life of Arthur, a Western screech owl who lives in
a tree near her home in Woodside. Saved Arthur’s life,
in fact, twice.
Arthur, Lee Ann says, lives in a tree not too far from her
driveway, and her family often hears his nighttime hoots.
About two years ago, sometime past 10 p.m., her
daughter, Jennifer Gilbert, had just turned up the driveway, when she heard a thump.
“She got out and there was a little screech owl lying
there,” Lee Ann says. Jennifer Gilbert brought the dazed
owl to Lee Ann, who kept him warm overnight and
called the Peninsula Humane Society in the morning.
Lee Ann sent Arthur off to the Wildlife Care Center
with a note and a check “to help out” with the cost of his
rehabilitation.
“I want you to know his name is Arthur,” the note says,
explaining that Lee Ann wanted to be kept up to date on
Arthur’s progress.
Weeks later, employees of the Wildlife Care Center
returned the fully recovered owl and set him free near
his home in the tree, with Lee Ann, her husband Bill,
and a granddaughter looking on.
Before flying off, Arthur, Lee Ann swears, “swiveled
his head around, and I think he smiled at me,” she says.
“He totally turned around and looked at us, and off he
went up to his tree.”
Fast forward to last November. Lee Ann knows the
date, because it was just a few days after the Gilbert’s
granddaughter Fiona, a 17-year-old Woodside High
School student, had miraculously survived a nine-story
fall while visiting Boston with family.
Fiona, Lee Ann says, had broken nearly every bone
in her body, but with love and skilled medical attention
was recovering.
Jennifer Gilbert was once again driving home, late,
“getting ready to turn up our driveway, and bang,” Lee
Ann says. “There he was again.”
Lee Ann firmly believes that her daughter encountered the same owl twice. At the Wildlife Care Center,
they say they really can’t tell, since their charges aren’t
banded or otherwise marked when they are returned
to the wild. “Nobody else is sure, but I’m
m sure it’s
him,” Lee Ann says.
In fact, the experts at the wildlife center
er say
they aren’t even sure if Arthur really ought
ht
to be call Annie. Determining the sex of a
bird can be invasive, they say, and that’s
the last thing they want to do when they
are hoping to return an animal to the wild.
When Jennifer brought Lee Ann an
injured owl, again, Lee Ann says, “I held
d him in my
hand and looked at him and said, ‘You
u again!’” Lee
Ann says that this time she knew to call
ll the
h Wildlife
Wildlif
Care Center directly without waiting until morning.
Once again, Lee Ann sent the little owl off with a note.
“Sadly, after a day or so I got a call and they said they
were going to have to euthanize him,” Lee Ann says.
“They said, ‘He broke his femur, and we’d have to do an
operation and we just don’t have the funds.’ I said, ‘Oh
yes, you do!’” Lee Ann offered to pay whatever it took to
put Arthur together again.
“He’s part of our family. He had to come back to his
tree,” she says.
Lee Ann says even if her granddaughter wasn’t lying
in a hospital bed, she would have helped the little owl.
“God gave us back our granddaughter from a fall, and
so just paying back ... seemed right. Everybody needs a
chance to heal,” she says.
Arthur had surgery on his femur at the Wildwood
Veterinary Hospital in Portola Valley, where a tiny pin,
the size of a finishing nail, was inserted into his leg. He
returned to the the Wildlife Care Center, which nurses
thousands of injured wild animals back to health each
year, for rehabilitation.
Arthur healed quickly. His caregivers even reported
that after just a few weeks, he pulled the pin out of his
own leg. The leg healed enough that the experts at the
Wildlife Care Center believed he could not only fly and
perch, but could hunt for himself.
Once again, Arthur was set free near his tree.
Fiona, though, has a bit more healing to do. After three
weeks in a hospital in Boston, followed by months at Stanford Hospital, and nine operations, Fiona was recently
moved to a rehabilitation facility, her grandmother says.
Fiona has at least one more operation at Stanford, but
someday, one hopes not too far in the future, she, too,
should be able to go home, where maybe she’ll be able
to hear a small owl hooting in the night.

health at the Peninsula Humane Society’s Wildlife Care
Center, after Woodside’s Lee Ann Gilbert rescued him for
what she believes is the second time.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
The Peninsula Humane Society’s Wildlife
Care Center in Burlingame, which is completely funded by donations, rehabilitates
about 1,200 animals a year. The center
serves the area from San Francisco through
northern Santa Clara County, caring for sick,
injured and orphaned wildlife.
The center also counsels residents on
ways to co-exist with wildlife and treats animals impacted by environmental disasters
such as oils spills.
The center can be reached to report a wild
animal in distress by calling (650) 340-7022.
PHS-SPCA.org has more information and
a link to make donations online. The center also accepts donations of mealworms,

help feed its charges.

KINGS MOUNTAIN ROAD
NCCCZ\T5:3?;A:@-5:/;9N
Just a mile from Woodside Road, but a world away from the hustle and bustle of SiliconValley, 680 Kings Mountain, Woodside, delights. With its
rich physical environment, you will never need to go on vacation again! Swimming pool, spa, lush lawns, stable, decks, raised vegetable garden, view
to the bay, vineyard, orchard, huge play structure with climbing wall, trampoline, sand box, redwood grove with meandering stream and chicken
coop.
With its inventive wine cellar hidden behind a secret door plus the downstairs in-law unit, the home’s square footage is 4071± sf. Set on 2.91 acres,
according to the title company measurements, and located across the road from Huddart Park, a local treasure with miles of hiking and riding trails,
the home takes advantage of a sense of privacy with civilization just a mile away. Impressive estates are nearby.
The home is served by Woodside Elementary, a well-loved gem of elementary schools with its API of 963 and a Great Schools rating of 10 out of 10!
