From The Globe:

“The owl happily greeted the MBTA first responders on scene,” said T spokesman Joshua Robin.

The workers then put Hoot in a box and transported him to a local animal hospital for treatment.

At the hospital, they learned the bird had lost a wing and it had to be euthanized, Robin said.
