She huddled on the left bank of a pond off Greenfarm Road last month, left wing bloody and hanging off her body. She was too weak to fight or flee when Carolina Waterfowl rescue volunteers arrived to capture her.

Both had been shot by someone authorities say intentionally targeted the birds. Rescue workers last week euthanized the herons after they were unable to repair their injuries.
