Wildlife Jewels Rescue Crew: Entangled cormorant rescued in La Jolla 💙🌙
Tonight, a cormorant entangled in fishing line was reported by caring beachgoers who stayed with him and helped keep him safe. With quick coordination, the bird was safely contained and promptly transported to San Diego Humane Society (Project Wildlife) for evaluation and treatment.
We’re wishing him a full recovery and hope he can return home soon. 💜
Human-caused hazards like fishing line can be devastating for wildlife. Thank you to everyone who showed compassion and reported the entanglement.
