This HY19 bald eagle “Sigourney Rose” was found face down in a harvested field near the town of Sigourney, Iowa.

This juvenile female was not at all perky and did not want to stand. This young bald eagle is a female and her blood lead level is low.

After several days of receiving fluids and being hand-fed, she is standing, but still wants to be hand-fed. She is also being treated for aspergillosis as she has raspy breathing.
