A few nice wildlife animals images I found:
Pacific Wildlife Rescues Great Horned Owl

I watched a dramatic rescue yesterday by Pacific Wildlife Care volunteers responding to a call about a GHO caught on a barbed wire fence. Center Operations Chair, Dani, wrapped a towel around the owl's body and held it as Dale cut the barbed wire on each side of its wings to free it. The owl was taken to a local vet and euthanized due to the extent of its injuries.
Owls flying into barbed wire fences while hunting is a common occurrence. If not rescued, they die a slow, tortuous death. Even though this owl didn't make it, efforts of Pacific Wildlife Care ended its prolonged suffering. I'm glad to be a volunteer with this group that cares for wildlife. There are so many ways to help and I've already found several where I fit in.
