Apr. 20 (KGO) -- Animal welfare groups are offering a $5,000 dollar reward for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the shooting of a great blue heron.
It is recovering at the International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia.
The adult male bird was found in Fairfield Saturday with damage to his wing from a pellet gun.
A UC Davis veterinarian did surgery this week.
Great blue herons are not an endangered species but are protected under federal migratory bird laws.
