The owl that shut down a college library in Georgia after flying down a chimney is now free as a…well, you know.

The avian invader took up residence at the McCain Library at Agnes Scott College, a private school in Decatur, Georgia, last week, causing the building to close its main floor.

On Friday, UPI reports, the college enlisted the help of Stewart Farron, a falconer who caught the none-the-wiser bird using a net and a hydraulic lift. Farron released the owl outside.

The owl, who according to WXIA-TV was nicknamed Edgar Owlen Poe by students at the college, “seemed perfectly fine and was released on campus as students cheered,” Elizabeth Bagley, the school’s library services director, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Hopefully he’s off hunting somewhere for a field mouse.” (The newspaper also reports that the bird was “unavailable for comment.”)

On Twitter, Agnes Scott College announced the end to the long saga, writing, “We solved our four-day hoo-dun-it. In the library with a net. Yes, our feathery friend was released back into its natural habitat on Friday afternoon. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and jokes during this flying time.”

The library weighed in on Instagram, writing, “The bird seemed healthy and was released into the sky above campus! Normal library operations are resuming.”
