Bald Eagle Release x 2

On this beautiful Oct 9, 2019 day, Wings of Wonder released two immature Bald Eagles.  These youngsters were admitted to the center 5 weeks prior and both were in fairly rough shape.  The little male was emaciated and extremely dehydrated, the larger female was also thin and it appeared that she had been hit by a vehicle.   Both birds responded to treatment and within several days, of being admitted, were stretching their wings in our large 100 foot aviary.  They gained back their strength and endurance and seemed to truly enjoy the free daily meals of rabbit, rat and fish.   The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians graciously offered to host the release and it was a joy to see these two young Bald Eagles fly free once again.

Event coordination Miigwech goes out to:
Sonya Zotigh, MPA Grand Traverse Band Tribal Manager and Sammie McClellan-Dyal
