Banding of Kinsey and 2 other eaglets @ the hack tower from Carolina Raptor Center 04/26/11

The Carolina Raptor Center (CRC) is located in Huntersville, NC and is open to the public. This cam features Derek & Savannah who are in an enclosure with 5 other non-releasable eagles.

About the eagles...
Derek... was sent to Carolina Raptor Center from the Center for Birds of Prey in Charleston, SC in August of 1998. He was found in December 1995 with a fractured left leg, stiff right wrist, and an old fracture to his right wing. We suspect his injuries are a result of a gunshot. He is named after Derek Hageman, a very special boy who loved raptors and who visited Carolina Raptor Center on many occasions.

Savannah... was transferred to Carolina Raptor Center from the Center for Birds of Prey in Charleston, SC. She was found with an injured left wing in April of 1995. We suspect her injuries are a result of a collision of some sort. Savannah arrived at Carolina Raptor Center in August 1998 and soon paired herself with Derek. She laid eggs for the first time in 2004. Her eggs hatched for the first time in March of 2006.
