***Important message from Merrilee, the eagle has a brood patch ( starting to grow back) It means there is a nest with eaglets and only one parent to feed them. If you live in the area around the foot of Stevenson Road/fats creek please keep an eye out for eaglets on the ground***

Yesterday we posted a video of Bald Eagle 23-126 preening and talked about how this removes the protective sheathing from feathers that are coming in. Here are some close ups of those feathers from 126’s last health check. Feathers that are growing in are called Blood Quills as each one as a large supply of blood flowing to it. The blood supply will retreat once the feather is done going.
You can see protective sheathing at the base of each feather. If this gets cracked, birds can bleed a considerable amount from them. Extra care is always taken when handling birds with Blood Quills to prevent damage. As the feather grows, the sheathing needs to be preened off allow the feather to unfurl. The portions of sheathing that are no longer needed actually dry out to facilitate preening.
The fact that all major flight feathers are in blood at the same time is part of why baby birds actually need more food than adults of the same species. These feathers are incredibly nutrient intensive to grow. If there are severe enough nutrient deficiencies, stress, or trauma during development, blood quills can develop something called stress bars. Stress bars are weak points in the feathers that can increase the risk of breakage during use. 126’s feathers are developing nicely and do not show any signs of stress bars!

There's no place like “nest.”
Recently, we got a call that a tree containing an active bald eagle nest collapsed near Kellogg, MN. High up in mature trees, eagles make huge nests that can weigh a couple thousand pounds! Sadly, only one of the two chicks survived the fall.
When our volunteers arrived on the scene, the nestling’s parents were flying in the vicinity and not at all pleased with their presence. However, after a quick evaluation of the eaglet revealed a potential injury, the baby was immediately transported to TRC’s hospital. It tested negative for avian flu, but further examination revealed it had stable and well-aligned incomplete fractures in its left wing and pelvis.
Then came the decision. Baby raptor bones heal quickly, so should the clinic house the bird for a week until the fractures healed completely? Or, since the eaglet was determined to be only 30 days old and not that active yet, would it be best to build a platform nest and return it to its parents? Based on previous experience, we knew that for the parents to readily accept it, we only had ~48 hours to get it back.
Young raptors have special nutritional needs and learn a great deal from their parents and surroundings as they grow. One critical piece of knowledge they obtain is their self-identity, a process called imprinting. Promptly reuniting this eagle chick with its parents would help it properly imprint, avoiding the risk of it imprinting on humans and no longer being releasable.
As this story develops we will share updates with you on renesting efforts and and our continued monitoring of the baby eagles health. Stay tuned!

Baby Eagle Update!
Recently, a baby bald eagle came into our care after sustaining injuries when its nest collapsed. TRC hospital staff determined the baby's incomplete fractures in its left wing and pelvis would heal without medical intervention. So, ~24 hours later, two of our fabulous volunteers made the 2-hour drive to transport the baby eagle back home! Returning the baby ~48 hours after removing it from the nesting site means the likelihood the parents will have remained in that territory is much higher.
After scouting the area, a spot was identified to place a pre-made nesting platform that would provide sufficient shade and allow the parents to easily care for their eaglet. The parents were seen circling the area during this time - a good indication of their readiness to return to their baby! Our volunteers placed the baby in its new nest and promptly left without causing any more disturbance to the eagle family. Our hope was that the baby would begin to call out to its parents, and they would resume their parental duties, bringing their chick food and protection.
When we checked back 1.5 days later, it was clear that we had made the right choice - the parents had resumed care and a fish was next to the eaglet! We are pleased that this was yet another success in reuniting a baby raptor with its parents.

Bloomfield the Bald Eagle

I
A Place Called Hope 09 April
Send HEALING energies to another Bald Eagle admitted yesterday afternoon. This adult male was called in by a family who believed him to be entangled by something since he was hanging upside down in a tree. He fell to the ground and was clumsy and unable to fly. Christine's Critters, another Center got the initial call and since they were logistically farther out, they alerted APCH to respond for the immediate care this bird required. After we rescued him, we were afraid he would not survive the ride home. He is suffering from severe starvation likely due to the fact that he has a lead level (metal toxicosis) of 20 ug/dl. Symptoms of lead toxicity are similar to other conditions causing clumsiness, disorientation, head droop, paralysis, and failure to thrive. Lead toxicity is another human related conflict that APCH would like to address in our state after we get somewhere with the ban on second generation anticoagulant rodenticides. Lead is often ingested by our scavengers like eagles, vultures, ravens, and crows... these birds can eat fish with lead fragments, pellets, or gear, as well as gut piles or parts of lead fragmented body tissue from deceased animals and game. This is a growing problem in our state and has been an ongoing problem across our Nation. We must learn how to do better. Lead alternatives exist and should be pursued so this does not keep happening. If that weren't enough, this eagle's blood did not coagulate on the slide and was still liquid after 15 minutes. This quick test alerts us to potential anticoagulant rodenticides and when noted along with associated symptoms, we routinely start vitamin K therapy. This eagle is not in great overall body condition, but we are doing all we can to help him survive. He had a lot of blood in his trachea, which may go along with impact trauma from hitting the ground when falling from the tree, or the possible anticoagulant. We have no way of knowing all the history, so we do our best to cover the bases. No bruising or bleeding under the body skin tissue at this time. Watching closely... as we move ahead on this guarded case.

Your good energies are HELPING!! The Bloomfield eagle stood up to eat his first meal in captive care. We start out pushing fluids and don't introduce solid food until hydration is established. Now that he is ready to eat, it will make keeping him hydrated a lot easier. He will get protein slurries and both beef and turkey heart for the next few meals. High protein and no bones, fur, or feathers to digest. These feedings are gentle on the digestive tract as we try to slowly reawaken his system and not too fast. Starvation is very damaging in itself not to mention the lead toxicity. This eagle is not out of danger, his condition is still very guarded, but... he is fine for this moment. And he has food in him. That just feels good. It will be a better night for us all. When we have such critical cases, it is hard not to check on them all night long. Tonight we will sleep... and dream of healing.

It has been touch and go, but the Bloomfield Eagle is officially upright. He is no longer needing his donut pillow and is now on a low perch. This is progress... Lead toxicity on top of starvation is a very difficult crisis. Lucky for this bird, we are part of the Lazarus study to help a new heavy metal Chelation Antioxidation medication become FDA approved. This new chelation therapy is so much easier than old methods of treatment and our patients are responding positively and quicker than ever before! If you are interested in learning more, you can visit some earlier posts which describe the meds and shares links. He is so lucky to have landed in our laps!
Emeramide has saved FOUR cases since we have started this partnership. Lead IS an issue across the Nation.
