Kirk Mona said...: Cool story. I had my own bird rescue adventure today when I got a call at work about an owl stuck in a batting cage net! I wish the photos were a little better. I was concentrating on freeing the owl and had no time to take pictures. I wish I had one that showed how badly the leg was tangled.; 4/17/2008 6:13 PM
