BELFAST, NY (607NewsNow) – Several injured birds of prey have been rehabilitated.
Three bald eagles were secured by the DEC earlier this summer, including two juveniles who fell from their nest at the Montezuma Wildlife Refuge.
The juveniles were taken to the Janet L. Swanson Wildlife Hospital at Cornell University for treatment before being transferred to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Western NY.
While they were at the Messinger Wood Wildlife Care and Education Center in Erie County, where they received care from wildlife rehabilitator Marianne Hites and her team.
On September 13, the Environmental Conservation Officers involved in the raptors’ rescue released the eagles last month in Allegany County. According to the DEC, all three flew high into the sky without incident.
