Great white heron, man, and rock. (Grok 3)<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Edgard Valenzuela, illegal alien from Guatemala, was out fishing one day when he saw an endangered bird. Valenzuela couldn’t resist throwing a rock at the great white heron, causing it to suffer a broken wing. The article reports that the heron and the illegal alien “had a dispute”. Valenzuela was due to show up for a hearing on May 27, 2025, but he won’t make the court date. He got deported back to his own habitat… Guatemala:<\/p>\n

From Local 10 News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Witnesses reported Edgard Valenzuela was fishing when he threw a large rock at the wading bird on Jan. 20, at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.<\/p>\n

Amanda Burke, of The Pelican Harbor Seabird Station near North Bay Village, responded to the state park and found the federally protected bird crouched in the grass, and bleeding from the right wing.<\/p>\n

Burke reported that an X-ray later showed the bird’s wing had been fractured in two places and there was an emergency surgery on Jan. 21.<\/p>\n

The Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, a nonprofit organization, rehabilitated the bird while FWC officers investigated the case with the help of a park ranger at 1200 Crandon Boulevard.<\/p>\n

FWC officers arrested Valenzuela, 34, on Feb. 7, and prosecutors filed a felony case against him on Feb. 8 for intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.<\/p>\n

Valenzuela appeared in court on Feb. 8 and a judge set his bond at $1. Records show his next trial hearing before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura Maria Gonzalez-Marques was May 27, but he won’t bet there.<\/p>\n

Valenzuela was an undocumented migrant, so federal agents deported him to Guatemala.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
