Officer First Class Lopez rescued two baby ospreys trapped under a fallen tree!
On Tuesday, July 26, 2022, at approximately 6:00 p.m., OFC Lopez was on patrol when she received a call about birds in distress in Lusby.
A tree containing two baby ospreys fell due to the weather passing through the area.
As a result, their nest was destroyed. Unfortunately, the delicate birds could not fly because of the heavy rain.
OFC Lopez safely secured the two little ones and transported them to a local wildlife clinic for much-needed care.
