Bald Eaglet #19-0207

On March 26, the Wildlife Center admitted nestling Bald Eaglet #19-0207. The eaglet fell from a known eagle nest on a property in Campbell County and was caught by the property owner’s dog on March 24. The owners were familiar with the nest (located roughly 150 feet up in a tree) and knew the eaglet’s parents were active at the nest site this season. Re-nesting was not a simple option, and because of the long fall from the nest, the eaglet needed to be examined for injuries.
