Pelican Blown off Course by Sandy Heads Home
(NECN) – One of the casualties of Hurricane Sandy is heading home for the holidays.
The brown pelican was just one of many avian casualties blown off-course by Sandy.
Rescued on McMillan Wharf in Provincetown, Mass. The pelican was exhausted, dehydrated and had a severe respiratory infection.
A wildlife clinic on Cape Cod took the bird under its wing and nursed it back to health.
On Sunday, the pelican will be flown to a rehab center in Florida, where it will be treated until it’s ready to be sent back in the wild.

My Fishing Cape Cod had the wonderful opportunity this year to tour Wild Care, a wildlife rehabilitation center less than a few miles from the Goose Hummock in Orleans.
