The Eagle has landed

We were headed to the bull pasture to feed Monday morning (it was -15 F + chill factor) when we came upon this dazed juvinile golden eagle which  Blake easily captured. We have placed him in a barn and will feed him rabbits or prairie rodents and hopefully be able to release him in a few days.  No injuries could be found so suspect he received a concussion from flying into a power line.  By Tuesday afternoon he had become much more alert and was eating well.

  1. That's amazing. Good luck nursing it back to health. Maybe you can train it to patrol the prairie dog towns.
