We tried to get her released ( we assumed she was female because she was HUGE...we affectionately nicknamed her "Birdzilla") ASAP because we knew she must have had a mate nearby somewhere. They have a huge territory and since she flew straight to the top of the tallest tree around, he was likely in the right place at the right time, saw her, and came over. I'm sure their senses are far superior to ours, especially vision. They amaze me every time I deal with them and it is truly a privilege to work with them :) Helene Helene Van Doninck DVM Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre RR#1 Brookfield NS B0N1C0 902-893-0253 birdvet@hotmail.com www.cwrc.net Please check our fundraising campaign on Indiegogo<http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bald-eagle-flight-training-facility/x/2437414> .
