From CBS2 Chicago:Squirrels Harass Owl In Buffalo Grove - Neighbor Calls Police
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (STNG) ― If you thought Buffalo Grove was just another quiet village, think again. Nights in this northwest suburb can get pretty wild.
At about 2:55 a.m. Wednesday, police were called to the 300 block of Willow Parkway when a resident reported an unusual noise in her back yard, according to a report from Buffalo Grove police.
Investigating officers found that two squirrels were harassing an owl and causing the ruckus. No injuries or arrests were reported.
