20240919-Bald Eagle-1-x

This juvenile Bald Eagle was found on the property of Grant County Issack Walton League.  When approached he flew a short distance then fell from the landing site.  Mike A. called 2 different rehabbers and we both were able to meet at his location.  I was asked to take the bird to Soarin Hawk as the other rehabber didn't have the space for its care.

This eagle was x-rayed and underwent a complete initial physical exam with no indication of cause of weakness.  We suspected an underlying cause like secondary poisoning or West Nile virus.

The early care crew found this bird deceased in its cage early the next morning.
