Tropical Bird Lands in El Paso Due to Winter Storm
El Paso Zoo
Does anyone else get the urge to say MINE when seeing this bird? Just me?
According to the El Paso Zoo, a Good Samaritan brought in the bird to Stick House Sanctuary, which is a state and federally licensed wildlife rehabilitation and animal welfare organization here in El Paso. They then transferred the bird to the El Paso Zoo. What a journey for this bird!
The Magnificent Frigatebird is a sea bird that is normally found on the tropical waters of the Gulf, Atlantic or Pacific Coasts. Because of the winter storm, birds like this cutie can be detoured into different locations- which can be very scary for the bird.
