This mature bald eagle arrived on Dec 26. He was found on Christmas eve on the county line between Jenkins and Emmanuel counties. He was triaged at Laurens Wildlife and transferred here for rehabilitation. Initial reports indicated a gun shot wound to the wing but x-rays show no metal fragments in the wound. He has big chunk of tissue missing on his left wing and cannot fly. Our goal is to get this healed up and get him back out in the wild within the next 2weeks. His mate was in the area searching for him when he was picked up by the biologist.

Eagles mate for life and are very loyal to each other. In the wild they will begin building nest or refurbishing nest in January.

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for taking time out of their holiday season to drive thia guy all the way from Dublin to Zebulon.
