Endangered And Threatened Birds Receive Vital Help From SeaWorld San Diego
After several weeks of rehabilitation at SeaWorld San Diego, two tiny, but incredibly unique birds—a California least tern and a western snowy plover—were recently returned to their natural habitat for a second chance at life at a protected stretch of beach at Naval Base Coronado. Both birds were outfitted with ID bands so that SeaWorld’s wildlife biologists can continue to monitor their progress.

While these two birds are small in size, their importance to the local ecosystem is huge. Both species are indicators of the health of our coastal beaches and ocean environments. It is imperative that SeaWorld and other rescue organizations work to protect these birds and their nesting sites.
