Deep Creek Discovery Center to receive a bald eagle

Bald Eagle #14-0144 recovered well from his amputation surgery last month – Dr. Kristin took the eagle to surgery to remove the dead bone at the end of the eagle’s wing. The surgery site healed well, and follow-up radiographs indicate no further issues.

The non-releasable Bald Eagle will be placed as an education animal at Deep Creek Lake State Park in Maryland, where he will be a regular part of the park’s Scales and Tales program. Deep Creek Lake State Park will be building a new enclosure for this eagle next week, and once permits are approved by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the eagle will be transported to his new home later this spring.
