Taking flight

She wasn’t quite ready to leave Save our Seabirds, but she has another internship this summer.

Sarasota High graduate and Florida State advertising major Megan Mohrmann capped off her marketing internship at Save Our Seabirds by releasing a rehabilitated mourning dove.

Mohrmann said the bird arrived about a month ago at Save Our Seabirds. It had an injured wing.

The release was one of the highlights of her time at SOS, where her favorite part of the job was “(capturing) the positive stories and sharing them with the public.” One of those stories includes a new record.

“This month, we broke one of our records for most ospreys received,” said Mohrmann.

Four were transferred to the SOS facility for rehab, and two more were rescued that same day, explained Mohrmann.

Four of the ospreys have already been released and two are working toward a full recovery, she said.
