After understanding the situation, the staff immediately rushed to the scene and found a bird with white feathers, a yellowish-brown beak and long slender legs. The bird was identified as a second-level national protected animal Egret. Through observation, the staff found that the egret was unable to fly normally due to its wing injury, and was panicked. The staff carefully disinfected it and simply bandaged it, and drove the egret to the Handan Wildlife Rescue Center in time. According to the staff of the Wildlife Rescue Center, the egret has now started to eat and its body is recovering.

It is understood that the egret is a national second-class protected animal, and is called the "monitoring bird of air and water quality" by the World Environment Organization. Where they are, the air is fresh and the environment is beautiful. In recent years, Linzhang County's ecological environment has been improving day by day, rare wild animals have been continuously discovered in the territory, and people's awareness of protecting wild animals has become stronger. People often rescue and release wild animals, forming a good situation of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. .
