From the Daily News:Saving lives is Bobby Horvath's work and his passion.
A 15-year veteran with the New York City Fire Department, Horvath has a busy job as a firefighter at Engine 264/Ladder 134 in Far Rockaway, Queens.
But when he's not at the firehouse, Horvath has his hands full as a wildlife rehabilitator, rescuing all kinds of birds and animals in the city and on Long Island.
He's also one of a select group of licensed rehabilitators that the city Parks Department and New York City Animal Care and Control count on when they have a hawk, a coyote or even a bobcat.
Yup, you read that last one right.
Horvath has assisted in some of the most unusual rescues around the city.

Good people in Queens. Nice to see.
This is a REAL New Yorker!
What does the picture have to do with this guy? He saves the bird from the conrete? It was in some kind of imminent danger?
He rehabilitates hurt animals and re-releases them.
Look The Unisphere basin is clean AND filled with clean water !
It was in some kind of imminent danger?
YES !
The birds had to go in order to turn the Unisphere fountans on for the Tennis fans and US Open TV cameras.
Mayor Orders
The MTA LIRR also cut down so many trees (so they dont have to trim them) the birds make do with nests
Nice story. Need these little reminders that there are some good people out there!
Really nice story. Animal rescuers are the best.Nice contrast to the old Italian guy in my neighborhood that poisoned all the local neutered cats.
