This little guy had just escaped from the mouth of a domestic cat! He wasn't about to give in without a fight, but you can see that the feathers on his head have been wet, from being carried around by the While taking these shots, I noticed that his left leg was injured, so I took him to the local wildlife officer to be treated. After treatment, the wildlife officer will re-release him near where I found him.
