Bald Eagle Doesn’t Survive Injury 🦅 Via @gcwrescue A Difficult Goodbye This weekend, we received an adult Bald Eagle that had been found on the ground in the Tahoe area, unable to fly. After a thorough exam, we were heartbroken to discover it had sustained a severe shoulder fracture that was beyond repair. While we had hoped to stabilize the eagle and transfer it to our partners at Bird of Prey Health Group, the kindest and most humane decision was to gently euthanize the bird to prevent further suffering. This is one of the hardest parts of wildlife rehabilitation-but it, too, is a form of care. Helping wildlife sometimes means knowing when to ease pain rather than prolong it. We are deeply grateful to the compassionate individuals who rescued this magnificent bird and brought it to our wildlife intake center so it could receive the dignity and care it deserved. #BaldEagle #WildlifeRescue #WildlifeRehabilitation #CommunitySupport #CritterCare #VetMed #Nature #Wildlife #Animals #Care #Compassion #HardSideOfRehab #Tahoe #LakeTahoe #Eagle #Raptor
