Sigh
Today's update from CROW:
Lil Guy is currently fighting an infection in the broken bone of the right leg and is receiving daily antibiotics.
A culture was taken to identify the bacteria causing the infection so the eaglet can receive the highest standard of care possible.
His blood work came back normal and the eaglet continues to eat on its own and is perching.
The eaglet will not be moved back outside to the small flight enclosure until the infection clears.
---------
Kind of a bummer but an understandable setback. Good that he is still stuffin his face.
If you watched the video of him and the fish last week, you might have heard him making a clicking sound in between bites. Thats an eagle's way of warning others away from their food. It's good that he is doing this.
Thankfully, he is old enough to not become imprinted with the people-food connection.

This weekend CROW got a new patient. A pelican hatchling from Sanibel that was found on the ground. It arrived lethargic and bleeding from the eye. It has been placed in an incubator where it sleeps a majority of the time and is intermittently vocalizing. It has been striking at food (fish) and remains quiet, alert and responsive. The pelican will receive fluid and nutritional support.
