Injured bald eagle thrilled rescue team with egg. Now South MS could get its own eagle cam By Martha Sanchez January 18, 2025 5:00 AM| A pair of bald eagles was spotted outside of the Sun Herald on Debuys Road in Gulfport on Tuesday, January 24, 2017. Watch one of them take flight and fly away perching in a nearby tree. By Amanda McCoy The discovery thrilled Missy Dubuisson and her colleagues at Wild at Heart Rescue. A bald eagle delivered to them with injuries had suddenly laid an egg. “I never would’ve thought in a million years this would happen to us,” said Dubuisson, founder and director of the rescue in Jackson County. “It’s exciting and nerve-wracking.” The egg began a rush of excitement and caution that, Dubuisson joked, has everyone “walking on eggshells over here.” It is the first bald eagle egg they have ever been responsible for. Every next step is governed by federal authorities because bald eagles are protected by law. The eagle, named Orin, arrived Jan. 13 at Wild at Heart Rescue, which is state and federally permitted to possess and rehabilitate wildlife. Orin was found in Poplarville, where Dubuisson believes she may have been hit by a car. She had a painful beak fracture and a wing injury. Both were treated by a veterinarian, and Orin went to the rescue for rehabilitation. A bald eagle named Orin was delivered to Wild at Heart Rescue in Jackson County. Then she laid an egg. Wild at Heart Rescue She laid the egg on Wednesday. Laura Mioton, the caregiver for Orin and another eagle, saw the egg first and told Dubuisson. “It’s like a Christmas morning thing,” Dubuisson said. Eagles usually lay eggs from December to February. When one mate commands the nest, the other searches for food. Orin may have seen some food, such as a rabbit, in the road when she got hurt. It is unclear where Orin’s mate is, but Dubuisson said he may still be in a nest, somewhere, waiting. There is no way for them to know. Orin and her egg are tightly protected, and no visitors are allowed for her safety. But Dubuisson plans to install a camera before the rescue puts Orin in her new enclosure in about a week. Dubuisson said the rescue will upload footage and updates to its Facebook page. Eventually, Dubuisson wants people to be able to tune in to a live camera. For now, Orin is calm. If she becomes restless, Dubuisson said the rescue will consult with federal authorities about how to protect the egg. The egg could hatch by mid-February. The rescue hopes to move Orin to a larger enclosure as she heals with her baby. A full release is a long way off. But one day, Dubuisson hopes to release Orin and the baby together. Now the rescue team is determined to keep Orin well-fed, warm, safe and calm. “Each day the egg is intact,” Dubuisson said, “it’s the greatest thing.” MS Martha Sanchez Sun Herald
