Urgent Rescue: Injured Cormorant Bird Saved on Bay Bridge

BREAKING: An injured Cormorant bird was rescued on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge this afternoon after motorists reported its distress, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). The incident unfolded around Monday afternoon, as drivers traveling westbound on Interstate 80 spotted the large seabird struggling to move in the Number 2 lane, just east of Treasure Island.

Multiple calls to CHP described the bird as appearing unable to fly, prompting swift action from officers. “The bird was safely detained and appeared to have sustained injuries to its legs and wing,” CHP stated. Authorities believe it may have been struck by a vehicle earlier, leaving it vulnerable in a high-traffic area.

In a heartwarming turn, the Cormorant received a free ride in the back seat of Officer Lim’s patrol vehicle, swiftly removing the bird from danger. “This unlucky bird won’t be flying under its own power for some time,” CHP added, highlighting the urgency of the rescue.

The coastal water bird, renowned for its exceptional diving skills, is currently under the care of San Francisco Animal Care & Control, where it will undergo medical evaluation and treatment. The quick response from CHP not only prevented further harm to the bird but also ensured the safety of motorists on the busy bridge.

This incident underscores the importance of wildlife awareness and the role of law enforcement in protecting vulnerable animals. As the Cormorant receives care, its recovery will be closely monitored, and updates are expected soon.

Stay tuned for more developments on this story as authorities work to rehabilitate the injured bird. The swift actions of the CHP remind us of the vital connection between humans and wildlife, highlighting the need for compassion in our shared environment.
