After becoming caught in debris in a tree, a barn owl starved to death recently.

"On Friday, local birder Dominik Mosur responded to a report of a dead owl hanging in a tree near Mission High School, next to Dolores Park," reports CBS 5. "A math teacher from the high school had recovered the body from the top of a neighboring 50-foot pine tree. The animal was found with black netting tangled around both its legs. Rescuers do not know how long the bird was trapped."

Sad.
