Eagle Release

   This mature male bald eagle came from Harrison and was dropped off at Guys and Dolls Photography in Clare.  Bob and Linda Guiliani, who run the photo shop, are long time members, and often help with incoming injured birds.
    This eagle was near death.  He could not lift his head and could barely open his eyes.  It was difficult to even detect breathing.  However, through gentle and intensive care, he was nursed back to health, and is once again a free-flying bird. 


Because this eagle was extremely wild, he was too sensitive to transport back to the original location.  He was released here at Little Swamp Sanctuary, where he can rest and fly on to his home territory when ready.
