I used to do field rescue for Birds of Prey in Sonoma County California. I brought my film camera with me to every call. I would take a photo as the bird was found, asses the situation, then complete the rescue, getting the bird into the hands of avian care if needed! It was often hard to find the 'downed' bird as they are well equipped to blend in with their environment...Can you spot The Great Horned Owl in this scene?
