Recently a friend and I found a Blue Heron in a field with a broken wing. We managed to throw a towel over the bird and drove for an hour, on a Saturday night, to Washington State University. We managed to get into their clinic and were told when the bird was released we could be present if we left our number. Unfortunately, we received a call saying they had to put our bird down. The bone in his wing was dead and if they amputated it he could not stand and balance. Even though it didn't work out like we hoped I am sure pleased with all the effort WSU put forth!
