AEF-DC EAGLE CAM 🐣🐣 RESCUE OF EAGLET DC 4... SEALED WITH A KISS!

Описание: AEF-DC EAGLE CAM 🐣🐣 RESCUE OF EAGLET DC 4... SEALED WITH A KISS!... Late on the afternoon of April 20 DC4's leg became lodged in a Y-shaped stick on the edge of the nest The eaglet was unable to free itself after many attempts to do so over a considerable period of time. The American Eagle Foundation, in cooperation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, arranged for the eaglet to be rescued. Initial examination of the eaglet on the ground by a USFWS eagle expert found that the leg did not appear to be seriously injured. The eaglet was taken to a veterinarian at a zoo in Maryland where a physical check-up an radiograph of the leg confirmed that the eaglet is in acceptable condition with the exception of an abrasion and swelling on the leg. DC 4 was returned to the nest late afternoon on April 21.

The entire process of freeing the eaglet’s lodged/stuck leg, getting it checked out/radiographed, and then returning it to the nest took less than 24 hours.

“We are extremely grateful for all USFWS, AEF, USNA, Ex-Cel, & Maryland Zoo staff and volunteers who readily responded to this emergency situation and helped make this a quick, safe and successful rescue effort,” says Al Cecere (AEF Founder & President)

HEARTFELT THANKS & GRATITUDE TO ALL.... Special shout out to our hero's, professional arborists Matt Morrison & Marty Levine... you guys are amazing!

Bald Eagles Mr President, The First Lady & eaglets DC4 & DC5
