Eastern Screech Owl - Finally Free

This is an owl I won't soon forget.  Found in North Durham huddled against a house, he was brought to Toronto Wildlife Centre where it was determined he had injuries to most of his body.  After a month at TWC, he went to The Owl Foundation for several months and there regained strength and was prepared for release.

I released him back in his turf and he immediately flew into some cedars.  This photo was shot at high ISO and I really didn't think it would turn out but luckily I was able to get one shot out of it. 

Such a beautiful bird.
