Bald Eagle #21-0677 update

Bald Eagle #21-0677 remains in the A3 tower, where the veterinary team can more easily catch and treat the eagle's carpal injuries. While there have been intermittent improvements, the wounds are still far from healed. Significant carpal injuries can be challenging to treat; unfortunately, the wounds do require regular hands-on care to ensure that they remain clean and bandaged, but the regular catching of the bird for the treatment often creates an opportunity for the bird to re-open partially healing wounds. The veterinary team is trying to carefully manage being hands-off as possible while providing regular care and medication. The team will assess the prognosis for this bird in the coming weeks.
