Subject: [Tweeters] Please help: Eagle down at the Fill

Hi Tweets,
We've had visitors call us to say one of the mature eagles is down, apparently standing in one of our ponds and unable to fly. This comes after hearing that one of our nesting pair was electrocuted over the weekend (I do not know if this is true or not).
If anyone has that number for DFW or has a license to rescue eagles, please help me contact them. Sounds like it's stuck in Shovelers Pond, but I can't confirm that's the pond for sure. It's been a very difficult week here, and this is just making it hurt more. Thanks.
