Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary March 18, 2012

Here is the final stop on our zoo-cation to the Tampa area. The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary is located on the ocean in Indian Shores, Florida.  ‘The sanctuary is the largest wild bird hospital in the U.S. based on the admission of over 8,000 injured birds each year. It is set up to immediately triage, stabilize, and administer fluids to malnourished or injured birds’. We were lucky to see a Brown Pelican chick that was only two hours old.  Enjoy the photos and watch the video of the chick.
