Heron at Medicine River Wildlife Centre gets fresh start for new year
An avian being living in central Alberta has been given a new lease on life from the folks at the Medicine River Wildlife Centre.
It all started back in November when the MRWC received a report of a Great Blue Heron hanging around Blackfalds, but unable to fly, according to Executive Director Carol Kelly.
Typically by that time of year, herons are gone from Alberta for fairer temperatures as water bodies – where they feed on frogs, insects and fish – are frozen.
