Bald Eagle #19-1666 Release Scheduled

Bald Eagle #19-1666 is ready for release! After additional exercise and pre-release blood work, the veterinary and rehabilitation staff declared that this eagle was ready to be returned to the wild. At this point, the state eagle biologist does not have any available transmitters, so the eagle will be released without one on Friday, July 26 at 11:00 a.m. at Caledon State Park [11617 Caledon Rd, King George, VA 22485].

Wildlife Center President Ed Clark will be releasing the eagle; the release is free and open to the public. If you plan on attending, please RSVP to  rsvp@wildlifecenter.org. Those planning on attending should meet at the Caledon Visitor Center.

And stay tuned for more information about a second eagle release – Bald Eagle #19-1560 is also ready to release and the staff is just coordinating a date and time with a location within the county in which the eagle was rescued.
