DNR Conservation Officer Lt. Robert Gorecki, along with staff from Wild and Free Wildlife Rehabilitation in Garrison and members of the Donahue family, earlier today released back into the wild one juvenile and two adult bald eagles.
The adult eagles were on the ground – likely injured by another animal and unable to fly – when Gorecki captured them on June 21 and brought them to the Garrison Animal Hospital. In the immediate area of the adult eagles was a nest that contained a juvenile bald eagle, which wasn’t yet old enough to fly. The next day, an individual from Bollig Tree Service climbed the 55-foot white pine and retrieved the juvenile eagle, which also was brought to the Garrison Animal Hospital.
The three eagles have been fully rehabilitated and are ready to live, again, in the wild. They were released near the site of their nest on Clear Lake in Aitkin County.
