WSU helps sick eagles
WSU’s vet school is helping a pair of bald eagles that were found over the holiday season in Stevens County.
From WSU News Service:
The cases are similar in that each bird was discovered alongside roadways by drivers who saw that the eagles were weak and unable to fly.
One is a 3-year-old juvenile bald eagle found near Waits Lake. WSU’s recovery team has nicknamed the eagle “Jordan.”
The other, is a 5-year-old mature bald eagle found just south of Colville along Highway 395. The WSU crew has named the older eagle “Carpenter.” The names came from authors of widely used veterinary avian textbooks.
After examination by local veterinarians, the birds were brought to Pullman by an agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
