Hatch-year ’21 bald eagle update

Two Polk County (IA) hatch-year 2021 (HY21) bald eagles needed rescue in mid-June – one from Urbandale and the other from Saylor Township. Both of the HY21 female eagles have moved to a 10×20 flight pen to continue their weight and strength training. Kay reports both of these youngsters have an improved appetite and that “Urbandale” is starting to get to a higher perch.

HY21 eagles have better appetites! Fish, nom, nom, nom!
