Follow up on Great White Egret from Jan 26th

The lady who called us on the 26th about this bird, he has a broken foot. She called on thursday the 27th and said she had put out a trail of hot dog pieces leading into her pool area which is screened, the bird took the bait and ate his way down the trail until he got far enough in that she was able to run around her house and slam the door shut on him ( he was not happy) but my coworker Ed was able to get there quickly (its of utmost importance so the bird does not get to stressed) he was able to catch him and get him to the SSS hospital . I dont know how he is doing will check on him today. It is hard sometimes to capture a wild bird, there are some that have taken me weeks to get. Im just thrilled we were able to get this guy the help he needed, he was so thin and starving slowly and thats so hard to watch, when they are injured they are unable to get all the prey they need, as other birds will be quicker so they are able to fight an injured bird and take whatever he was able to capture. Well Im on call today so need to go, hopefully I will have more stories to tell soon, on the other hand I hope I dont because that means a bird is injured. God Bless to all and love to all of you also.
