    • <b><i>On the wing…<br></b></i> A great blue heron that was found shot in a backyard in Moab in January is released back into the wild after healing from its injuries. The bird, found by Moab residents David Morgan and Sara Melnicoff, was taken to Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation in Price, Utah, where Debbie Souza-Pappas has been working for the past 17 years to help birds and other wildlife that have been injured. Pappas brought the heron, which Melnicoff and Morgan nicknamed “Nadia” because of her graceful movements, to be released near Moab on Monday, April 9. She was set free in the Scott M. Matheson Wetlands Preserve on Moab’s west side. Photo by Nick Eason
