He needs to be able to feel and use his feet in order to be returned to the wild. Fully functioning feet are essential for his survival out there.

Yes, I am an eaglet freak. They posted the lil guys exam today. He is only 2 weeks old, so body control is not going to be his forte for a few more weeks.

E8 (#16-361) is bright and alert and continues to show signs of improvement. The eaglet continues to receive physical therapy and a warm pack on its feet 3 times a day to help reduce swelling. E8’s appetite is strong and is steadily gaining weight.
