They also frequently ask for fish - fresh or frozen - to help feed these
birds. See their website or call for details. Spread the word to your
fishermen/women friends!

Raptor Rehabilitation of Kentucky posted an update Thursday on Facebook saying
this:
“Her prognosis is guarded at this time. Lead poisoning is commonly seen in Bald
Eagles which are known to scavenge on carrion and gut piles left by hunters,
and eat fish that contain lead due to lead sinkers left in waterways. This type
of poisoning causes neurological damage that can lead to seizures, blindness,
emaciation, weakness, limb paralysis, and death if left untreated.”The group is
collecting donations for care of the bird. You can help by clicking here.
