An officer first class from the Maryland Department of Natural Resource Police Department was on patrol in Calvert County when she received a call about a report of birds in distress in Lusby amid the storms.

Upon arrival, a spokesperson for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources said that a tree containing two baby osprey fell due to a storm, destroying their nest, and leaving them trapped in a perilous position.

The officer was able to secure the two little birds, who could not fly away due to the heavy rain and inclement weather, and transported the precocious pair to a local wildlife clinic for additional care.
