Herons and egrets released back into the wild after lifesaving care.

So far this year, 23 herons and egrets from the sensitive downtown Oakland rookery have been brought to Bird Rescue’s San Francisco Bay-Delta wildlife center.

Staff at the center has cared for hundreds more herons and egrets from around the bay. Last year, more than 250 black-crowned night herons and more than 270 snowy egrets were treated at the center, most eventually becoming healthy enough after care to be released back into the wild.
