Was “adorable owl” on someone’s wish list this year? If so, it seems Santa Claus may have delivered the gift a few weeks early — not wrapped with a bow, but tucked inside the iconic Christmas tree that crews erected at Rockefeller Center this week. Workers discovered the feathered creature clinging for its life to the 75-foot-tall Norway spruce over the weekend. Soon after, Ellen Kalish, director and founder of Ravensbeard Wildlife Center in Saugerties, NY, got a call from a stranger asking whether they accept owls for rehab. “I said absolutely,” Kalish told The Post — in fact, they “specialize in raptors,” including owls. The bird was discovered as crews were “unwrapping” the tree, said Kalish, who drove about a half-hour to meet the wife of one of the men who transported the tree from upstate to Midtown. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the precious bird was injured.
