I put the new feathers and bamboo shafts into the old feather shafts currently still in the Eagle. This did not hurt the bird,
they have no feeling in their feathers. Feathers are like hair on humans.

The finished product was a new wing and the bird was able to be released back to the wild 100%! What a success story.
(Holding the bird for a picture is another Rehabber) We also get in lots of Bald Eagles every year.

Celeste, my wife, and I believe that every eagle, owl or hawk
we get in for rehab deserves a second chance. The expense
involved with medical care and feeding these birds is a
significant problem. I feed my birds a natural diet. I also give
a nutritional supplement called vitahawk to all my birds. For
every bird we release this is a priceless addition to the Kansas
breeding population and a success story. That is one more
eagle that gets a second chance to soar. Public outreach is a
very large part to address here. We as a county are only as
good at Eagle conservation if the public supports our mission.
For every child, for every parent that sees and hears the story of the comeback of eagle in the USA and Kansas, that is a
success story. It’s the work we do in the posterity of eagle management with the public that will make a difference 20
years from now.
