Lead poisoned the bald eagle's bloodstream. But here's why she was luckier than some.

From SOAR's FB page (the video features the Decorah eagles!)

SOAR - Saving Our Avian Resources shared HEART the Wild's video.

HEART the Wild
3 hrs

Five years ago, my hands were scrubbing Bald Eagle poop off of enclosure walls for Saving Our Avian Resources. I barely knew Kay then as a young college student trying to find myself. Now, my hands are rescuing Bald Eagles for her and, at times, assisting her with Bald Eagle treatments. In two days, my hands will be holding a shaking microphone as I introduce my mentor to my very own hometown. Today, I was privileged to be in the same news segment as her. Scrubbing Bald Eagle poop to now fighting alongside Kay and those of SOAR against lead ammunition. Wow. I get chills thinking about the future.
