GOOD NEWS: A badly injured bald eagle

 

GOOD NEWS: A badly injured bald eagle was released into the wild following a months-long recovery.   The three-year-old bird was almost lifeless when it was found in the town of Gilboa, New York. The eagle was taken to the town's maintenance facility on January 25 after it was found by workers who were plowing a road.  It was rehabilitated at the Friends of the Feathered and Furry Wildlife Center, where it started showing signs of improvement after only one day. The wildlife center continued to support the bird's healing process for 60 days before releasing it back into the wild last month near the location where it was discovered. Bald eagles are a conservation success story, with the population of nesting pairs increasing from 417 in 1963 to 71,467 in 2019.
