Great blue heron 23-81 came into care on April 27, 2023 after becoming oiled. After being treated for an infection and going through the stressful process of a wash (to remove the oil) this heron was finally ready for release almost 3 weeks later. Blood test results came back normal and the flight test went perfectly so this great blue heron is back in the wild where they belong! Thank you to all who have donated, without you this release would not have been possible! If you would like to suppor
