a tiny owl was found nestled in the branches
of the NYC Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree
the Saw-whet was discovered by workers
as they prepared to set up the 75 foot Norwegian Spruce
in midtown Manhattan
thirsty and hungry
at first his prognosis was uncertain
but after being taken in by the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center
he will be released in a matter of days
a little visitor to The Big Apple
headed back home
for the holidays
