THUNDER IN REHAB...............

Three months later we got a call from a vets office over by Prairie du sac saying they had an eagle in rehab that had a spinal injury. It was Thunder. She had made three months, flew 75 miles south on the Wisconsin river and had gained 2 pounds. On the day of her accident she was observed fighting with an adult eagle in the air. When the two birds unlocked talons one fell to the ice on its back. The person watching called a rehabber. She never stood again and died in rehab two days later. Had she not been banded we would have never known of her journey. Banding is perhaps the most important tool in rehabbing. Even tho the outcome was short lived she died in her own world being an eagle.
