I recieved an email from Cindy Palmatier, Rehab Director and it says;"The baby eagle is being replaced in a nest this weekend per USFW preferences. Tim Sell is doing the climbing, and he took the bird with him last night so when he finds the 'right' nest, he's ready to go."

That is such interesting news, Dave. I wondered if the eagle could be returned to the nest. What an amazing job, finding the right nest and getting that baby back into it. I'd love to tag along on that journey.
Dave, I wonder if there are any other young in the nest, and if there are, what will be their reaction to this one being returned. I don't know about Bald Eagles, but it's a very competitive situation with some species over here, and many young are killed by their siblings.
Britt - That is a myth. Most birds don't have a good sense of smell, and it's a good thing. Most bald eagles smell of fish.
Duncan - I haven't rec'd an update from USF&W or Cindy yet but I will pass it on when I do.
Robin - I wish I could tag along also.
