Officer First Class Lopez rescued two baby ospreys trapped under a fallen tree!
Yesterday around 6 pm, OFC Lopez was on patrol when she received a call about birds in distress in Lusby. A tree containing two baby ospreys fell due to a storm. As a result, their nest was destroyed. Unfortunately, the delicate birds could not fly due to the heavy rain. OFC Lopez safely secured the two little ones and transported them to a local wildlife clinic for much-needed care.
