A rescued double-crested cormorant chick being examined at International Bird Rescue’s Los Angeles Wildlife Center in San Pedro, California, US. When a wind-damaged eucalyptus tree threatened to fall, staff scrambled to extract the 47 eggs and 12 chicks housed in its branches. The chicks must be fed every hour from 8am to 8pm.
