Two ducks, named Forest and Meadow, survivors of the CZU Lightning Complex fires, are available for adoption at Peninsula Humane Society (PHS).
Forest and Meadow survived for 11 days during the fires that destroyed 86,509 acres in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. The owner of this pair of ducks was evacuated and his home was consumed by the fire, so he was unable to take his pets with him.
Forest and Meadow are true survivors of the recent wildfire destruction," said PHS communications manager Buffy Martin Tarbox.
Tarbox added that it was a miracle the birds survived because as pet ducks, they would not have been used to fending for themselves.
"For 11 days, the ducks avoided the fire and smoke, searching for food and water sources until we were able to rescue them on Aug. 31 with the assistance of other agencies," Tarbox said.
