Two Bald Eagles, admitted as starving fledglings in July, were released this week on a cool blustery day at McNary Beach Park where they had been found. The male eagle was released first. His sister soon followed:

The only other admission this week was a Great Horned Owl that had been struck by a train. It had multiple fractures in the right wing and shoulder. Euthanasia was the only humane option.

The Barred Owl admitted with a broken rib and a shoulder injury has been moved to the large flight pen and is flying well. The plan is to release him in the coming week.
