I would like very much to toast IWS. “I would like very much to toast IWS for their effort and hard work that we don’t even know about, and all their work with the eagles and island fox. I would like to toast the Cruzer’s for their support of IWS and their support of each other. And most of all I would like to toast the eagles. May the story go on.” Click to play. ![]() The Lemonwood Eaglets. The Lemon Wood Eaglets were invited by National Parks Service to go to headquarters and there they met Dr. Sharpe. The experience was so wonderful for these kids. They got media attention, they got to be winners! Long May They Soar! I made this Smilebox for you.

Topa - It's a very sad day but your trip down memory lane with the Lemonwood Eaglets and Regan was very uplifting. Great presentation and wonderful memories.

New Patient at WCV ![]() PATIENT: Bald Eagle, #12-0442 LOCATION OF RESCUE: Richmond County, Virginia CIRCUMSTANCES OF RESCUE: Found in a creek ADMISSION DATE: April 19, 2012 PROGNOSIS: Guarded On the morning of April 19, a Bald Eagle was found down in the Totuskey River in Richmond County, Virginia. A Conservation Police Officer rescued the bird and transported it to permitted rehabilitator Diana O’Connor. Diana stabilized the bird and a dedicated volunteer transporter immediately began the journey to transport the eagle to the Wildlife Center. Upon admission, the mature Bald Eagle was assigned patient #12-0442. The staff noted that the eagle was wearing a USFWS leg band. The eagle was originally banded in Essex County, Virginia on May 24, 1985. At the time, the bird was one of three chicks in a nest in a loblolly pine. Dr. Miranda Sadar examined the 27-year-old bird and drew blood for an emergency panel and lead check. She was unable to feel any fractures; Dr. Miranda did note that the bird was very thin, but not emaciated. Lead levels came back negative. The only significant injury that Dr. Miranda could find, other than the bird’s poor body condition, was bumblefoot – an inflammatory reaction of the bird’s feet. After the eagle was placed in a large crate in the Center’s holding room, Dr. Miranda became very skeptical of the negative lead test. The bird was exhibiting a classic sign of lead toxicity – drooping its head. The veterinary team decided to pull the eagle out and do a quick “awake” radiograph [without anesthesia] to look for any lead fragments that may have been ingested. April 20 Update Last night’s radiographs and additional lead testing did not reveal anything that explains why Bald Eagle #12-0442 is exhibiting clinical symptoms for lead toxicity. The repeat lead test revealed a level of 0.071 ppm — a very low level that does not require treatment, and one that does not typically cause symptoms in eagles. Regardless, Dr. Miranda opted to treat this bird for lead toxicity — based on the signs she was seeing in the bird. Chelation therapy started immediately and will continue over the next five days. On the morning of April 20, the eagle still appeared dull and depressed — though the bird did eat on its own overnight. The staff will continue with chelation therapy, fluids, and supportive care over the weekend while additional blood work is performed. |

Hi everybody. So shocked and saddened by the loss of the TH eaglet. I know we are all also very worried about our beloved K82. It is not like her to be away from the nest for so long. |

Topa, thanks for all the good memories about the Lemonwood eaglets. Their observations were always so much fun, and spot on for what was happening, too. Regan did such a terrific job with her students. Congratulations to the sandhill crane parents on the hatch of their second chick. Deb, I thought of you and Gary again the moment I woke up. Last night I had said that any company would be fortunate to have such a clever, experienced, and dedicated employee like Gary. You have each other to lean on and that is a blessing.

Whooper Update: Fly Away Home Date: April 20, 2012 - Entry 2 Reporter: Joe Duff Subject: EXCITING NEWS! Location: Main Office This morning we got exciting news from ICF’s Anne Lacey that our birds are getting closer to home. On April 17 number 7-11 roosted near the Mississippi River in Houston County, Minnesota and 4-11 was 34 miles southeast on the Wisconsin River. It seems that whatever navigation aids they use kicked in simultaneously and both of them headed due east from separate locations. 7-11 is now in eastern Marquette County, Wisconsin. That puts her very close to the White River Marsh State Wildlife Area where she started. 4-11 is in southern Columbia County, Wisconsin which is a short distance south of White River and very near to our third migration stopover. The WCEP tracking team is heading over to the area with receivers to see if they can determine which birds are together. Stay tuned… |
