Five baby black-crowned Night Herons in California are recovering today after quite the fall.
The federally protected birds were injured last week while crews trimmed trees near a U.S. Post Office, according to the International Bird Rescue in Fairfield, Calif.
Andrew Harmon with the International Bird Rescue told ABC News that the herons are recovering in incubators and that their injuries are indicative of a fall from a tree.
“Their bruises and scrapes are consistent with an animal falling from a nest at that age,” Harmon said.
The birds are doing well, but one of them did have surgery on its beak, Harmon added.
“I’ve seen tree trimming accidents, but nothing this dramatic before,” he said.
