Rehabilitated birds released on Lake Yosemite in Merced County

MERCED COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- Lake Yosemite has a few more ducks and geese thanks to a man passionate about birds and the Stanislaus Wildlife Care Center.

Mark Anderson's day job is operating a kayak rental business but his mission has become helping injured animals who call the lake home.

Action News Photojournalist Alex Ruiz documented the moment rehabilitated birds were released back into the wild.
