(Note: I've seen many, many versions of this story in the last few days and it has gained national attention. I hadn't posted them before because they all gave the impression that the only way eagles are poisoned by lead bullets is when wounded prey escapes the hunter and is later found and eaten by eagles and other wildlife. As we all know, that's not accurate. This story from CNN leaves out that particular detail, so I posted it to show how far and wide this story has gone.)

Ancient eagle rehabilitated in Jackson returns to the skies

https://www.gillettenewsrecord.com/news/wyoming/article_5624d6bd-e11c-5b8c-8660-de6dc9ba35ba.html


Anne Hare, a Teton Raptor Center volunteer, opens a crate to release a soon-to-be 31-year-old-male bald eagle that crashed through the window of a Hoback home on Jan. 28. The eagle received treatment at the raptor center for levels of lead "considered clinical by most raptor veterinarians and rehabilitation centers" which may have contributed to its accident, according to a press release from the center.
