Calling All Creatures Presents Broken Wings, Second Chances: The Story of Seabird Rescue
from Calling All Creatures · host Laurie Fivecoat
On the coast, the cries of seabirds ride the wind. But sometimes those wings need help. In this episode of Calling All Creatures, we explore the inspiring world of wildlife rescue with the dedicated team at Pelican Harbor Seabird Station. I'll be joined by Yaritza Acosta, Rehabilitation Manager, who shares what it takes to rescue, treat, and release injured seabirds and other native wildlife. From dramatic rescues to the careful rehabilitation process that prepares animals to return to the wild, you’ll hear powerful stories from the front lines of a wildlife hospital where compassion and science work wing-to-wing. We’ll also explore the hidden dangers seabirds face every day, the challenges wildlife rehabilitators encounter, and how everyday people can help protect wildlife in their own communities. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after someone finds an injured bird on the beach, or how conservationists help wildlife return to the wild where they belong, this episode will open your eyes and tug at your heart. Join us for an uplifting conversation about compassion, conservation, and the incredible journey from rescue… to flight again.
