So Happy that Drones don't Have claws!
While we have done a handful of cat rescues, we have done only 2 other drone rescues. But I think it's fair to say a drone is a little easier to handle than and kitty! The worst part of this mission were the single-digit temperatures and the blustery winds.
The arrow in the picture below shows where the drone landed (or crashed)--the uppermost branches of a tall ash.

Sean saddled up and marched right up the tree. With 3 long sections of pole with a hook at the end and a very steady hand (especially with the wind!), he was able to snag the drone and lower it to himself without dropping it. Safe!
With a battery recharge and some new rotors, this drone should be ready to go once more!
