A Great Blue Heron, who collided with a window and got trapped in an enclosed space, has been released after receiving full rehabilitative care at Wildlife Rescue. The organization is calling for the public’s support during the busy months of spring to continue this vital work for other vulnerable species in need.
“Wildlife Rescue is very pleased with this heron’s recovery after receiving daily care from our hospital staff,” said Linda Bakker, Wildlife Rescue’s co-executive director. “Wildlife Rescue is so grateful for the support of the wildlife community in Metro Vancouver and across B.C. Every call, message and donation we receive supports our mission to promote the well-being of wildlife in urban areas,” said Bakker.
Shortly after the rehabilitated adult Great Blue Heron was released, two more herons were admitted to the hospital; among them, a baby heron that fell from their nest. The young heron is receiving the necessary care to be able to grow up without the nurturing care of their mother.
