An icy rescue

This is so cute!  I found this the other day on MSN under MUST-SEE PHOTO.

An icy rescue

An exhausted & freezing owl clings to the front of a canoe after being rescued by a surprised paddler from the cold waters of a lake in Finland.
Nov. 7, 2013: Pentti Taskinen was paddling on Lake Tuusula when he spotted something strange moving in the water. As he drew closer, he was shocked to discover an exhausted Northern Hawk Owl struggling to keep its head above water. Pentti lifted the bird out of the water and lay it on the front of his canoe as he paddled back to shore. When he got to dry ground, he headed to a nearby museum, where the owl was wrapped in a coat and placed in a cardboard box next to the stove. One of the museum guides took it home and, once it had recovered, released it back into the wild.
