In talking with both Greg Meis and Belinda Rotton, of WDFW, about the injured Bald Eagle, I was told that, due to it having enough strength to keep clear of human captors, they are not able at this time to capture it. Biologist Paul DeBruyn will continue to monitor the bird and, should it become too weak, from inability to forage, he will try again to capture it and take it to a rehab facility (likely Sarvey) to check on its condition. If the bird stays strong, it will not be taken to a facility and will hopefully, continue with its nesting. Belinda was unsure whether or not there are yet eggs in the nest...

They will call and let me know how this turns out, and I will pass the report on to you Tweets :-)

Thanks to Michelle and Sammy for your help on this today and to Debra for the alert and photos.
