Rehabilitated bald eagles at Pymatuning
TWO rehabilitated bald eagles were released back into the wild on April 18, at the Game Commission’s Pymatuning Wildlife Management Area in Crawford County, under the watchful eyes of rehabilitators from the Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, who were responsible for caring for the birds. One bird, an injured female, had been found a year earlier, near Union City by Erie County WCO Larry Smith. It had an injured wing and a partly missing tail. The bird was emaciated and dehydrated and had suffered pellet wounds from a gunshot. Persistent infections resulted in a lengthy healing period. This mature bird had been banded as a nestling near Vernon, Ohio, on May 11, 1992, making it 20 years old, and an established breeder at the Union City dam nest for many years. The second eagle, an immature female, also was picked up by WCO Smith, on July 17, 2011, from the Six Mile Creek area east of Erie. The bird is believed to have suffered from West Nile Virus, which caused its feathers to become deformed during development. As a result, this young bird

We would not be here today to return these birds back to the wild if it were not for their investment of time, skill, energy and money.” Harbaugh noted that Tamarack, as well as other Pennsylvania licensed wildlife rehabilitation facilities, do
