Ten Years of Flight Restored | Tampa News

Ten years of saving seabirds, one feather at a time—The Seaside Seabird Sanctuary celebrated its milestone with a heartwarming release of dozens of rehabilitated birds, many rescued from fishing hooks and nursed back to health over months or even 18 months. Each bird had to pass a swim test before soaring free, symbolizing both recovery and renewal. The event was more than just a release—it was a community party complete with games, crafts, vendors, and meet-and-greets with feathered friends, all while honoring the sanctuary’s resilience after hurricane damage. Running entirely on donations, this vital rescue hub saves 3,000+ birds yearly—and without community support, it simply wouldn’t exist.
