Bald Eagles and Lead Poisoning

A growing problem that is occurring not just in our area but across the States is lead poisoning found in Bald Eagles. In most cases the Eagles do not survive. Tamarack has had 10 Bald Eagles brought in for treatment this year, not all have been for lead poisoning thank goodness. Posted here are just a few cases and I have also linked to recent newspaper articles about this growing problem of lead poisoning.

Red-tailed Hawks

Some of you have asked about a Red-tailed we admitted a few weeks ago with a humerus fracture. That bird has graduated to a flight building where it is doing test flights and building up strength.

Found Animal in Need?

At the present time,Tamarack is able to admit birds of prey, adult seed eating birds, opossums and turtles. This is subject to change depending on case load. When staffing and funding permit we also admit as many other patients as we have the capacity to responsibly care for.

If you find wildlife in need of help call Tamarack as soon as possible for guidance. We may refer you to another rehabber closer to you, or better equipped to handle a particular species.

For the animals, health, DO NOT FEED OR WATER. Keep it in a quiet safe, dark location
