D20 Update


9-27-14 ~Update on Decorah Juvenile Mr. Soar We don't have a current photo for you ... (the folks at Saving Our Avian Resources are very busy with patients and new intakes) ... but we love this photo of Kay holding Mr. Soar for a field examination on the day he was rescued in Decorah. Kay writes, " The Decorah juvenile eagle admitted June 2014 is still considered a patient even though paperwork has been submitted to the US Fish & Wildlife Service requesting this eagle be transferred from the rehabilitation permit to the eagle education permit. We’ve not heard back yet from USFWS. We will hear back from them when we hear back from them. This juvenile eagle is stable and continues to be a good patient… eating, bathing, preening, and climbing up a branch ladder to a perch." At this point we don't know any more than what has been stated above, but we know he is adapting to his new life and is in the best care possible. Our thanks to Kay and all the crew at S.O.A.R for the excellent care they give to all their patients. We also thank Cynthia Hansen for the photo. You can scroll down these threads for all the updates about Mr. Soar since he was found injured, and the surgery on his broken wing. The traumatic break was very close to the shoulder joint, and while normally it is helpful to have a calcium deposit build up to foster bone growth, in his case it is impacting his ability to move the shoulder joint to fly. He will continue his rehab and physical therapy and will become an Education Eagle under S.O.A.R.'s permit.
