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.

Remember, if you come across wildlife that appears to be sick or injured, please call Wildlife Services toll-free at 1-877-463-6497. You can also locate licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators in your area here:

MD natural resources folks do very well!

Haven't seen 'my' pair lately, partly due to over-abundance of greenery/bamboo around. Neighbor's gonna cut a lot of it, but maybe not til next year.

I sure hope Mr. Sits on nest next spring so geese don't take it again. 💔

I hope you get to see them soon.
