Eagle Flight Pen Dedication

The Wildlife Center dedicated its new eagle flight pen on Thursday, May 10.  Participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony was Virginia Secretary of Natural Resources Doug Domenech and Bob Duncan, Director of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. After lunch and tours of the facility, a group of 40 people gathered in the new eagle flight pen -- designated as A3 -- for a few remarks from Wildlife Center President Ed Clark and Secretary Domenech.   The group was then invited outside for a special ribbon-cutting by Secretary Domenech and DGIF Director Duncan.  After the ribbon was officially cut, rehabilitator Suzy Doell carried Chesapeake Bald Eaglet #12-0529 to the "raptor tower" portion of A3 -- a room specially designed for young raptors.  Dr. Miranda Sadar caught up NX and moved her to the main flight area of A3.
