This week, our San Francisco Bay center is caring for 137 birds at latest count, including this Horned Puffin. Rehabilitation technician Isabel Luevano reports the bird was transported nearly 200 miles to our center from Ft. Bragg in Mendocino County, where it was found emaciated with a foot injury. We’ll keep you updated on its condition via the blog.
