A North Texas rehabilitation hospital opened its doors to a rare patient earlier this month: an injured, 7-pound bald eagle in need of fish.
The Blackland Prairie Raptor Center is a conservation nonprofit located in Lucas, in northeast Collin County, that tends to wounded birds. Every once in a while, bald eagles will be admitted into the facility’s hospital for rehab, said Annamarie Saavedra, its executive director.More than two weeks ago, Lorenzo Carbajal was fishing at Lake Tawakoni in East Texas when he heard an animal making noise in the distance.
“We had to stop accepting fish because we had so much,” Saavedra said, who added that the center was “grateful” for the response from the local community. To nurse the eagle back to full health, veterinarians addressed internal issues found in its bloodwork and monitored its flying ability through special eagle flight cages, Saavedra said. When the eagle was ready, doctors moved it to the largest flight cage to ensure its readiness and test its strength.
