In Pearl Beach Subdivision, a worried homeowner called the Wildlife Center of Texas to report this beautiful Great Blue Heron next to her home that appeared to be injured. Dr. Petra Franzen, a Wildlife Center volunteer, drove to Bolivar to rescue the bird from the residence near the slough, saying the bird was weak and underweight. Rehabilitation will be at the Center’s facility in Houston. According to Dr. Franzen, several injured birds are brought to the center each week. You are encouraged to contact 713-861-9453 (WILD) or Wildlife Center of Texas if you encounter injured wildlife.
