They included a short segment about this on "The Five" yesterday. The owl looks like a kids stuffed animal :). Never heard of a Saw-whet owl before, but I'll sure be doing some research on them now. Cute little guy.

An updated story from 5 hours ago about Rockefeller, the saw-whet owl, who is at a rehab facility in upstate New York:
https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-thursday-edition-1.5808547/tiny-owl-found-unharmed-in-rockefeller-tree-is-a-christmas-miracle-says-rehabilitator-1.5808659 - "Tiny owl found unharmed in Rockefeller tree is a 'Christmas miracle,' says rehabilitator"
Read the whole article for an update on his condition, and status and care, and plans for release this weekend. The story includes this, "Saw-whet owls are nomadic, so Kalish says there's no reason to drive him back to Oneonta. She's planning to release him this weekend in a nearby stretch of pine forest, where he will spend his days hiding in spruce trees and his nights hunting rodents.
'He may look like a cute little Furby, but underneath all that, he's an amazing predator.'"

Little Rockefeller is doing great! His X-Rays came back all clear. He will stay with us for a few more days while we monitor his health and get him back up to a proper weight. Then its just about waiting for some good weather for his release day! We will keep you all posted.
