Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education Center

Permanent Home for Eagle

Liberty, a bald eagle featured in a previous newsletter, has found a permanent placement as an education bird with an Ohio falconer/rehabilitator. We are sorry to see Liberty go after over two years at Tamarack, but pleased that she has found a home nearby. This bald eagle arrived at Tamarack having suffered a gunshot wound that resulted in permanent blindness in one eye making her survival in the wild unlikely.

With the support of the local offices of the State Gamed Commission, we pursued the possibility of keeping and training Liberty ourselves. But current federal regulations are creating barriers to otherwise qualified organizations such s our own. As a result, placing disabled eagles is becoming increasingly difficult. These regulations are currently under review for change and clarification.
