Great Blue Heron White Morph Release
Brittany returns the Great Blue Heron White Morph to home territory on Cudjoe Key this afternoon. She rescued the Heron Saturday in a mangrove with a fishing hook stuck through the neck near the trachea. We were able to safely remove the hook and treat the wound. Glad to get this bird rescued and released! Photo credit: Cayman Elston
