Great Blue Heron In Rehab
One of the largest birds in Northeast Ohio - a Great Blue Heron - is one of the latest patients in our Wildlife Education & Rehabilitation Program. This Heron came in suffering a fractured left radius or wing bone and left foot. It was found in a backyard, where they are often spotted fishing in koi ponds.
We’re working with a local vet to determine the best course of treatment, with the hope of returning this magnificent creature back to the wild. If you want to read more about this bird, take a look at this Great Blue Heron page at the Ohio Division of Wildlife website that’s packed with information. We have more photos posted in an album on our Facebook Page, too.
It’s winter, but the work of rehab is never done! Do you have questions about wildlife? Call our expert Wildlife staff at 440-871-2900 x 204.
