Our Columbia, South Carolina office officially completed a successful osprey rescue mission! An osprey that looked to be injured was captured under a milk crate at a local restaurant. Cue our S&ME team who sprang into action, dialing up local rescue facilities, including the fantastic folks at Riverbanks Zoo & Garden. The group managed to safely transfer the osprey to the zoo, where top-tier specialists from the Raptors & Endangered Species department took over. Fast-forward a bit; we received happy news that our feathered friend not only made a full recovery but also spread its wings back into the wild. Huge kudos to our Columbia team and the amazing Riverbanks Zoo crew for this good deed!

Wow, I've never seen one up close, just in a nest up high or in the sky. Now I know why they NEVER drop those fish I see them carrying along the river! Impressive claws.
That face in the last picture "what have I done?!?" 😁
Look at those circle hook talons!

Well done! 👏👏👏
