Just prior to Mitzi Eaton releasing a rehabilitated bald eagle Saturday, York Daily Record photographer Jason Plotkin and I were joking about asking Mitzi to have the bird fly straight out of the cage and right up, and onto a bare evergreen branch a 30 yards away. We'd get the entire event, catching, releasing and flying away, we said.
Yep, getting that is like training a cat to sit up and beg or a cow to spit milk out her nose. It wasn't going to happen. Except that it did. Couldn't have asked for a better position.
A slideshow/video with Wildlife Conservation Officer Greg Graham and Mitzi explaining the rehab process is in the works and will be posted, as soon as my computer is returned from the Intensive Care Unit.
