She is a hard working gal who lives in the National Eagle
Center in Wabasha Minnesota. She lives
there because she can’t fly anymore. Injured
and rehabilitated she does outreach work for her species in area schools and
other places. I met her one day while having a picnic along the Mississippi
where Angel was taking a break from her busy schedule for a walk along the
beach and being watched by one of her many volunteer “handlers.” What fun!

Indeed Angel, Harriet and friends at the National Eagle
Center, “You are my Special Angels.” Sent from the heavens above.

ReplyDeleteI think it's just wonderful that there are places for these injured birds. They are truly magnificent...and even if they cannot be returned to the wild, just being able to "see" them might spark future interest in preserving nature in someone.
ReplyDeletehow wonderful to meet her up close.
ReplyDeleteGreat post...I watched a number of their videos. :)
ReplyDeleteMajestic bird with a strong will to survive.
ReplyDeleteI have seen 'saved' birds, hawks and the like, but never one as magnificent as an eagle. Those dedicated people who work at a refuge must really enjoy their jobs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad they have a safe place!
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to those who rehabilitate and care for wild animals. Such beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent wing spans! The National Eagle Center deserves some applause for all their work -- of which I am sure they have gotten. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteWhat a great place to visit, I need to get there.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky to have been so close to an angel.
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to see them catching fish in the lake. I feared they would spend all their time in cages. What a fine program they have.
So inspiring! Thanks for sharing this wonderful information. It's very uplifting. :-)
ReplyDeleteReally majestic creatures.
ReplyDeleteRehabilitation centres can do some magical things to keep these birds valuable.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful, Trout! Thank you so much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. My son would love this; he's a big birder :)
ReplyDeleteI am having an "aw shucks" kind of moment.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! That is so neat, love Eagles...Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely heartwarming post!! What beautiful creatures. I wish you a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that there are places like this to rehabilitate our winged friends.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gift to be able to meet these two special angels. Despite their injuries, they are still quite magnificent birds.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this great story about these magnificent birds. And that they can go fishing even though they don't live in the wild anymore! Appreciate that you take the time to blog stories like this. And I've been following your blog for awhile--what is the age of your gorgeous German Shepherd? I forgot her (his?) name. Stunning.
