Owl Nursed Back to Health After Being Rescued From Rockefeller Christmas Tree

The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is a New York City tradition. But this year, the 75-foot Norway Spruce came with quite a surprise — hiding inside the branches was an adorable little owl. The bird was found dehydrated and malnourished after not eating or drinking anything for three days while on a 200-mile journey from Oneonta, New York, where the tree was cut down, to Midtown Manhattan. Named Rockette, or “Rocky” for short, the owl is recovering nicely at a wildlife center.
