Highlandville 4-year-old bald eagle

Outcome: Released 28 February 2017 near Volga River State Recreation Area, Fayette Co
Location of Rescue: West of Highlandville in Winneshiek County
Cause of Admission / Condition: Grounded with a wing injury
Patient Status: Patient Archive, Success Stories
An Iowa DNR biologist that works in the Upper Iowa Wildlife Management Area saw, tracked, and rescued a juvenile bald eagle on the 16th. Transport was arranged on the 17th.
Kay thought during her initial field exam that just the right radius was cracked. A closer inspection when at SOAR revealed both the right ulna and radius were cracked, but bones were in line and under the skin. There was much bruising on that entire wing. The wing was stabilized so nothing happened to the healing bones. This eagle is not thin and has an attitude! He is also uniquely marked with a white tail but brown and white head.
