Comprehensive Tree Care once again teamed up with Suzanne Shoemaker and Owl Moon Raptor Center, this time re-nesting a juvenile great horned owl in Potomac, Md. The story even got picked up by WTOP — Check it out!

Today we went to Columbia and helped Suzanne Shoemaker of Owl Moon Raptor Center reunite Diego, a Red-shouldered Hawk, with his siblings.
