Rehabilitated green heron and mink released at Ijams



In the 1920s, long before this was a nature center open to the public, H.P. and Alice Ijams began to call their property a bird sanctuary. Today, almost a century later, it’s still a wildlife refuge.

Local wildlife rehabilitator Lynne McCoy recently brought two orphaned animals she had raised. Totally healthy, it was time to set them free but they were two very different animals. McCoy released a green heron and a young mink at the Lotus Pond H.P. built for his four daughters in 1922.

Thank you to Lynne and Steve and photographers Chuck Cooper and Evan Kidd for capturing the moments.
