Ever see an owl in a laundry basket? Toronto Wildlife Centre’s rescue team re-nested this baby great-horned owl after Saturday’s windy weather blew him out his tree, nest and all. We made him a new home, and with the help of local arborists Paul and Dan, affixed it high in the tree. Will mom approve of our handiwork?
