EAGLE UPDATE: Week 14
Setbacks. Our celebrity eagle's lead toxicity levels have risen again. Typically, lead poisoning comes from ingestion - that is, the animal eats something contaminated. It's not uncommon in eagles; they regularly feed on fish and carrion, both of which have high chances of carrying lead. However, our rehab eagle has not been eating contaminated food. We know that for sure. Yet, every couple of weeks, his lead levels spike.
Unlikely though it seems, the only explanation for this is that there are enough small fragments of lead from his gunshot wound to be leaching into his system. Many of these tiny fragments are embedded very close to, or even in the bone which shattered when the bird was shot. There are simply too many of these fragments to remove and all in an area which has already been traumatized by injury and multiple surgeries. We will try one more round of treatment for the lead poisoning, but if this continues to happen, we cannot repeat the lead treatment indefinitely - that would eventually overload the bird's renal system and lead to failure.
The injured leg is slow...really slow to heal. We had hoped that the removal of the last large lead pellet might relieve some pressure on the nerves, but we have not seen significant improvement. The bird still cannot use its leg well enough to hunt, or even really stand very well. It has been putting all of its weight on its one good leg for months, and now the good leg is being overused and beginning to develop sores and infection from overuse. We have the one good foot wrapped to keep it clean, but again, if the injured leg does not heal this will also eventually lead to failure.
We are continuing treatment for the time being, and we are trying to remain positive. However, these current setbacks do not leave us optimistic.

Alright everyone, as of 5pm today I am no longer employeed by the building. I am now able to update everyone as to what I know.
The birds have nested and likely have eggs. They have been back and forth with food and pigott has stayed inside the nest box for the last few days. I maybe wrong but there is no way to tell.
We were unable to get the cameras on due to the impending sale of the building.
The new owners will be renovating the exterior of the building and had originally tried to have them relocated at their cost was my understanding.
The nest box will most likely be moved next season and whether or not the birds will relocate is up to them, its my understanding they may nest in the same location nest box or not.
I am very excited to hear updates from everyone as I wont be close enough to spare time with the two birds.
I am 100% certain the DEC is involved in this entire process and will let no harm come of the birds.
Good luck pigott and george.

Four bald eagles found dead in Sussex County

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service agents are expected to join the investigation Monday, March 21. The federal agency also is investigating the deaths of 13 bald eagles found Feb. 20 near Federalsburg, Md., and offering a $25,000 reward to anyone who can lead to a suspect. The federal agency's forensics laboratory recently found that the 13 dead eagles in Maryland “did not die from natural causes.”

Sick or injured eagles should be reported to the Natural Resources Police dispatch center at 800-523-3336. Anyone with information about the dead eagles should call the 24-hour Operation Game Theft hotline at 800-292-3030 or online at http://de.gov/ogt.
