Saving wildlife

 Tiny owl was rescued from a giant Christmas tree!

Saw-whet owl

A giant pine tree that was cut in northern New York state for the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas tree in New York City was being transported to the city when a worker noticed a tiny owl that was trapped in the tree. He rescued it and kept it in a box until he was able to notify a wildlife center. The tiny bird was not a baby owl, as the rescuer initially thought, but was in fact a very small variety of owl called a saw-whet owl. The little bird was fed at the wildlife center and has fully recovered from its journey to the big city. It is now living in the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in New York and has a safe and secure home. The rescue is being described as a miracle and the lucky little owl is now named Rockefeller!
