Officer First Class Lopez rescued two baby ospreys trapped under a fallen tree!

Yesterday around 6 pm, OFC Lopez was on patrol when she received a call about birds in distress in Lusby. A tree containing two baby ospreys fell due to a storm. As a result, their nest was destroyed. Unfortunately, the delicate birds could not fly due to the heavy rain. OFC Lopez safely secured the two little ones and transported them to a local wildlife clinic for much-needed care.

Will look for follow-ups.

I love that they are being rehabbed & will be reunited with parents!

Ty for sharing!

4. Yes, she is a hero!

MD natural resources folks do very well!

Haven't seen 'my' pair lately, partly due to over-abundance of greenery/bamboo around. Neighbor's gonna cut a lot of it, but maybe not til next year.

5. It sounds like they do a great job!

I sure hope Mr. Sits on nest next spring so geese don't take it again. 💔

I hope you get to see them soon.
