An eagles story

This male bald eagle was brought to the zoo several years ago after being rescued in Alaska, following what was thought to be a crash into power lines. This resulted in the loss of most of his left wing. As he could not fly nor his mate, no cover was constructed over the exhibit. He was a mature bird when he arrived, but the female was thought to have crashed on her first flight, resulting in the loss of much of her right wing. These eagles have actually mated, on the ground, built nest, and laid eggs. None fertile. Over the years thousands of zoo visitors have watched this pair.
