Florida Eagle cam

[Kris G.]

Update from CROW:

E8 UPDATE: E8 continues to be bright, alert, responsive and using the right leg in a normal fashion.  The eaglet is being fed whole prey items such as mice and chicks, but is not eating on its own and requires assisted feedings of fish fillets. E8 continues to gain weight and currently weighs a little over 8 lb.

The next update will be this Tuesday when E8 is scheduled for radiographs (x-rays) and blood work.  We will also be answering some of your questions next week regarding leg banding and how to identify E8's gender.

Below is a video of E8 receiving wound care earlier this week.
Again, thank you for your continued support and donations.

E7 has not been seen at the nest since Tuesday. At 121 days, it is normal for the juvenile eagle to venture out further into the area and eventually leave the nest for good. With the fundamental skills for survival learned, we hope E7 will fly high & free for many years to come.

Latest E8 update..good news!

E8 UPDATE: #E8 continues to improve since having surgery on May 14 to repair a broken femur in the right leg.  The eaglet is perching, vocalizing and gaining strength. Over the weekend E8 ate a little on his own but still requires some assistance during feeding.  Blood work came back normal and this week the eaglet is expected to be moved to an outside enclosure where it will have more room to build its strength and spread its wings.

E8 UPDATE: E8’s IM pin (intramedullary pin) which is used to join fracture bones has been removed  from the right leg. Additional pins remain in the eaglets right leg and will be removed as the leg continues to improve.   Since being moved to the outside small flight enclosure last week,  the eaglet has been bright, alert and perching on higher perches.  E8 still requires assisted feedings but recently ate full rats and a large fish on its own.

          Great news!

You're welcome!
I knew that infection was always a possibility but was so sad it became a reality when he ended up developing one. It definitely is a concern. He's been through so much in his short life..hopefully he gets over this hurdle as well.
