Bald Eagle #19-1666 update

Bald Eagle #19-1666 has been doing well in the A3 flight pen during the past couple of weeks. The rehabilitation team notes that the eagle has been flying well during daily exercise when they have been able to effectively exercise her; the recent high heat and humidity combined with the presence of four eagles in the flight space have been challenging! Wildlife rehabilitator Kelsey feels that the eagle is flying well, and given no substantial injuries were noted on admission, thinks that the Bald Eagle can soon be released. She’s coordinating with state eagle biologist Jeff Cooper to put a new GPS transmitter back on the eagle prior to release.
