An Eagle Called Houdini

For over three months MARS had been getting calls from people in Campbell River, concerned about a Bald Eagle hanging around a beach area and sitting very low in trees close to the road. The bird did not seem to care about the many people stopping to take photos. With a slightly drooping wing, she was still able to fly well enough to elude capture and several times a team from MARS would race down only to find she had vanished! So, she earned the name 'Houdini'. Finally on October 28th she was able to be caught. After an exam at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic, she was found to have an elbow infection and is on antibiotics for three weeks. She is strong and feisty and eating very well. We are hopeful for a full recovery. To be continued.....

I love birds. God Bless you all for rescuing and caring for these magnificent animals.

Thank You for saving this eagle! I've seen so many videos of injured eagles the past few years, and commend the people that take the time to help these magnificent birds!
There are a few 'live cameras' online 24/7, making it easy to watch these birds in their natural habitat. These are truly majestic creatures - America's National Symbol.

Thank you for taking care of this beautiful girl! ❤️❤️🦅🦅

[@andreaberrow2227]

Great story i sure hope she make it , with Mars taking care of her ,

[@Manning713]

what GREAT people you are, thank You !

[@missmeech788]

I am really surprised she was able to survive that long without full flight. She must have had a good source of food nearby, and enough umph to keep that infection at bay. Really an amazing story, but I don't like the ending: "to be continued." What a tease. I expect a full recovery from this strong and clever eagle, don't you? Thank you for all the wonderful work you do.

I love his name! he's cute, thanks for taking care of him!

[@gomigman5936]

Great work! That's how you care for an inured raptor, well done. Hopefully the infection cleared up and it was able to be released back into the wild.

LOL Toast And Yes Pike...That is not the look of being pissed...It is the look of serious business..of not Taking any Shit from Nobody!! lol Im sure we couldn't have picked a better animal as a symbol of our country and Americans....We should have Two symbols...the other one would be a Buzzard lol exclusively for our corrupt Gov. LOL I just made myself laugh lol
