Did you know Bald Eagles were once on the brink, with fewer than 500 breeding pairs in the continental United States? But today, their population has rebounded to more than 400,000 birds across North America. #BaldEagles #WildlifeConservation #YouCanMakeAnImpact

For such a powerful bird, the Bald Eagle has a surprisingly shrill call, usually a series of high-pitched whistling or piping notes. Did you know sound editors often dub over a Bald Eagle's call with the screams of a Red-tailed Hawk? #BaldEagle #DidYouKnow #WildlifeWednesday

Falconry hoods are one of the most common tools we use in the clinic. By gently covering a bird’s eyes, these specialized hoods reduce sensory input and help keep our Bald Eagle patients calm during medical care. #FalconryHood #DidYouKnow #WildlifeRehabilitation
