This is an interview from Tuesday July 23rd 2019 with Marisa Nelson, Assistant Director at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge, Long Island, NY.
Sam - The 35-year-old bald eagle has been part of the refuge for decades, ever since the bird was shot by a hunter. His right wing was amputated. Sammy could no longer fly, and was lovingly cared for by staff, and was a favorite of visitors.
Long Island officials are offering a $15,000 reward for the safe return of Sam.
