Great Horned Owl release with my daughter Julie

Luckily for me Julie was available to take a video of the Great Horned Owl we were releasing in Scarborough.  This was back a two years ago.  The owl was rescued by a man who saw the owl being attacked by a hawk in the water.  The owl was struggling in the water and couldn't get out.
The man went into the water and somehow got the owl to  land then put a chair overtop of it to save it from the hawk (who continued to attack the owl).  Toronto Wildlife was called and they finished the rescue.  The owl then went to The Owl Foundation for months of rehab.

Good work saving this beauty.

Release was amazing. Flew straight to the trees and was not seen again.
