Endangered Clapper Rails Released

From the creator

Seven light-footed clapper rails were released in the 915-acre San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve on Thursday. The endangered marsh birds were hatched at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Living Coast Discovery Center. More than 300 light-footed clapper rails have been successfully bred and released since 2001 as a result of a joint breeding and reintroduction program by Team Clapper Rail, a unique partnership between three breeding centers - San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Living Coast Discovery Center and SeaWorld San Diego - along with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Navy, Unified Port of San Diego, California Department of Fish and Game and Huntington Beach Wetland Conservancy. http://sandiegozooglobal.org
