(FOX 9) - It was a Christmas week miracle -- not just once, but twice for a Good Samaritan along the North Shore. Annabell Whelan rescued two different owls on Monday just hours apart. The first owl: Annabell Whelan works at Lake Superior Zoo. However, she was not on the clock when she made not one, but two incredible rescues this Christmas week.

DULUTH, Minn. — A snowy owl rescued from the grill of a car Monday at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth has been euthanized. But a great gray owl rescued by the same woman earlier in the day is still alive and being treated by veterinarians in the Twin Cities.

A northern Minnesota woman is being praised for rescuing not one, but two owls on the same day and in two different locations.

Annabell Whelan woke up Tuesday and frantically checked on her holiday overnight guest — Nowl the snowy owl, who she rescued from the grille of a car the day before.

I definitely thought that I had had my fix of owls with the first one,” said Whelan, 22, a Lake Superior Zoo guest experience manager who graduated earlier this year with a biology and environmental science degree.

One of the two owls rescued by a Minnesota woman in a story that went viral this week has died, but the other is still getting medical care.
