Bald Eagle #17-0968 update

Throughout July and early August, Bald Eagle #17-0968 recovered and self-exercised in flight pen A2. The bird’s carpal injuries healed well, and by mid-August, the bird was ready for more active daily exercise with the rehabilitation team. By early September, the eagle was flying about eight to 10 passes during each exercise session, though struggled to gain altitude during flight. On September 9, the eagle was moved to flight pen A3, where the bird could have a little more space during exercise.
