You Are My Special Angel



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!

To see the kind of work Angel does take a brief look at her friend Harriet, a partial wing amputee on the job….  Click on link.


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

  1. I 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.

  5. I 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.

  10. How lucky to have been so close to an angel.
    I 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.

  20. Thank 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.
