A dying sea hawk was found by Ontario Provincial Policer and is being nursed back to health by Sandy Pines staff at the Napanee, Ont. wildlife centre.
An injured osprey is getting a second chance at life due to the actions of one OPP officer, and the team at the Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre.
“They had got a call that it was on the ground and people had been watching it for two days,” says Sandy Pines Director Susan Meech.
“The mother was in a nest above that area and she was feeding some baby birds in the nest.”
OPP Cst. Martyn Curran brought the bird to the centre on Tuesday, where the team has been working diligently to nurse it back to health.
“It’s got a slim chance of making it, but we’re gonna give it a chance,” Meech says. “We’re gonna give it a try.”
That effort speaks to the passion of the team that Meech has assembled.
“I think everybody here just cares about animals and wants to help in any way they can,” says Sandy Pines employee Caleigh Beckett.
