Yesterday was the busiest day yet this year. We admitted 104 animals--I was there until 11 pm (3 hours after my shift was supposed to end, making a 13 hour day:) but it was ended admitting these awesome birds (pictured).
Many great blue heron pairs lay their eggs in one area called a "rookery" and care for the chicks together. This past weekend, the huge storms destroyed a large rookery, killing many herons and scattering the chicks. Thus, we received 7 great blue heron chicks last night.
