The other day I brought this news item to your attention. Today comes “a neat story” about “the large bird” from KTAB news in Abilene. (Warning: loud music and MMF–multiple “metroplex” references.)

Can’t wait to see if there is a follow up when the birds hatch. Who is going to imprint them to the wild? Blue Herons are really cool birds, I have two heron nests on our farm and the nests are really flimsy for such a large bird.

Kathy Rogers, Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, will hatch the eggs in her center and raise the chicks to adulthood. Kathy gradually introduces the teenage herons to the wild and releases them only after she’s comfortable that they can survive. So far Kathy has rescued more than 30 Great Blue Herons from Oncor power lines. For more information on Kathy and her work rehabilitating birds, go to http://www.rogerswildlife.org/
