Release of Rehabilitated Golden Eagle (AEF)

In 2010, a Golden Eagle was accidentally caught in 2 steel leg-hold traps which were baited with deer meat. At first, the eagle caught a talon in his left foot; then, struggling to free itself, the eagle fell into the second trap which tore into its breast. Struggling against both traps, the eagle sustained more and more damage to its chest. When it was discovered, the eagle was taken to the University of Tennessee School of Veterinary Medicine and treated for its injuries. The talon had to be amputated, and the eagle was then taken to the American Eagle Foundation for rehabilitation.

On November 15, 2011, in Shady Valley, Tennessee, this eagle - its chest wounds completely healed - was released. Shady Valley Nature Conservancy was chosen because the habitat was ideal for this type of bird and for the prey they favor.
