GAME COMMISSION RELEASES REHABILITATED BALD EAGLE BACK INTO THE WILDS OF WARREN COUNTY
Pennsylvania Game Commission officials proudly released a rehabilitated bald eagle back into the wilds of State Game Land 143 in Warren County, under the watchful eye of many individuals responsible for the majestic bird's recovery from injuries sustained in January.
On Jan. 23, the injured, four-year old female bald eagle, weighing 13.5 pounds, was found along the side of Route 6 near Youngsville. Warren County WCO David Donachy transported the eagle to Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center in Crawford County.
"Tamarack is an excellent wildlife rehabilitation facility that we have worked with on numerous occasions, and they have proven themselves to be especially skilled when dealing with raptors, including bald eagles," said Keith Harbaugh, Game Commission Northwest Region Office. "Sue DeArment and her team at Tamarack, along with Dr. Jamie Lindstrom of Ohio's Animal Clinic Northview, are to be commended for their caring and compassionate work to rehabilitate this eagle. We would not be here today to return this eagle back to the wild if it were not for their investment of time, skills, energy and money."
