Rescued birds
Peter Wallerstein is familiar to beach communities as the guy who rescues lost, abandoned or trapped sea mammals. I imagine that over the years, his Marine Animal Rescue has saved thousands of seals and sea lions.
But Peter has apparently been spreading his wings lately. In his most recent e-mail to us, he recounts how he saved a couple of birds from South Bay streets -- a breat blue heron in Marina del Rey and a pelican in Lawndale.
Here are their pictures. For non-bird experts like me who can't tell a canary from a crow, the heron is the top pic.
About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
