The Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, located between St. Petersburg and Clearwater in Indian Shores, is a nonprofit rescue mission and refuge for more than 500 wild birds. Renowned among thousands of bird-watchers, wildlife artists and researchers, it began in 1971 when Ralph Heath spotted an injured cormorant and carried it to a veterinarian friend who helped him nurse it back to health. News spread fast about Floridas new bird doctor and within days other patients arrived. Today the Sanctuary cares for more than 10,000 injured birds. Many birds are brought to the center and some just seem to arrive there, as if they knew where to go for help. |
