THIS JUVENILE BALD EAGLE WAS FITTED WITH A TRANSMITTER ON TUESDAY THE 12TH JULY 2011. THE ORGANISATION THAT FITTED THIS HAVE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE. THESE TRANSMITTERS IF FITTED NEED TO BE DONE WHEN THE EAGLET IS AROUND 50-55 DAYS OLD, THIS POOR FEMALE JUVENILE WAS 100 DAYS OLD WAY TO OLD TO DO THIS. WHEN THE EAGLET IS SMALLER THEIR IS NO STRESS AND IT IS JUST PICKED OUT OF THE NEST AND QUICKLY DONE NOT CRYING OR FUSSING, BUT AT THIS AGE THE JUVENILE IS ABOUT AS TALL AS IT'S PARENTS AND IT WAS TRAPPED IN A WIRE NET, TO ALL OF US THAT CARE FOR THESE BABY EAGLES FEEL THAT NO BALD EAGLE DESERVES THIS. THE YOUNG FEMALE JUVENILE HAS CONTINUALLY CRIED OUT AND CONSTANTLY TURNS IT'S HEAD TO TRY TO REMOVE THIS TRANSMITTER, IT IS A VERY SAD SOUND AND SITE. THESE BABY EAGLES HAVE BEEN THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES SINCE THEIR BIRTH, SNOW, STORMS, TORNADO'S, THIS FEMALE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS NOW WHEN IT IS TIME FOR HER TO FLY FREE, IF SHE EVER WILL WITH THIS CONTRAPTION ON HER BACK. WE ARE DEMANDING THAT THE TRANSMITTER PLACED ON E2 IN DECORAH, IOWA, BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVE. IT IS AN ATTACK AT THE FREEDOM OF THIS MAJESTIC AND MAGNIFICENT BIRD. WE WILL GO TO OUR PRESIDENT IF WE HAVE TO."  Go to the links on the right and watch the first video of how this family started and then the second link will show what has happened to this beautiful Eagle.

I have completed a formal letter of inquiry to the organization regarding the age-based protocols used during the transmitter attachment. We are waiting for a technical response to determine if independent avian veterinarians can evaluate the bird for potential physical distress.

July 21, 2011

The current momentum has prompted an inquiry from a regional wildlife investigative reporter. I am currently drafting a formal brief outlining the specific age protocols that were ignored during this procedure. This document will be delivered to the relevant environmental oversight committee by the end of the week.

Leave nature alone already. We dont need trackers on everything. Let the eagle be an eagle.

This is just cruel. She was way too big to be handled like that. Let that poor bird fly free without that heavy thing on her back.

Absolutely sickening. She is traumatized and you can see how much that contraption bothers her. Fix this mistake immediately.

My heart breaks watching the videos. Why would they put her through this stress after everything else she survived?
