Cormorant hanging

Posted on 19:30 by Unknown
Today, San Francisco Animal Control responded to a call about a cormorant hanging from its wing, high in a eucalyptus tree at Lake Merced. WildRescue was alerted.

We were making calls to local tree trimming companies, hoping to find someone with the expertise to help, when Kelly Cornell with San Francisco Recreation and Parks came to the rescue.

Kelly climbed the tree and was able to lower the bird to safety. It was transferred for care.

THANK YOU OFFICER SADLER AND KELLY FOR HELPING THIS POOR BIRD!!!!
