Rockefeller the Owl
Let us celebrate Rockefeller the Owl!
Small but mighty.
A tiny Northern Saw-whet,
he survived the trip traveling from upstate New York,
hitching a ride in a 75 foot Norway spruce
destined to be The Rockefeller Center's Christmas tree.

for a better tomorrow.
An early Holiday gift of light
in a dark and difficult year.
