Odysseus….
May 2nd, 2022 we rescued this male eagle that I named Odysseus…. For I knew that his chance of recovery was slim, and if he was going to make it, it would be a long journey shrouded in dark days.
The H5N1 virus is such a deadly strain that most eagles in 35 states have died within 24 hours of being rescued.
Every day I send my positive thoughts to Odysseus, as he now has survived for 2 weeks. Over 12,000 people have been following this story and many have been sending their positive thoughts and prayers
What a fighter this eagles is, as he’s beating the odds against him.

Bald Eagle Rescue June 14, 2021
Sunday around 6 pm I got the call that an eagle was down at Lily Point….So off I go to investigate…I am so angry… this is the 4th eagle I’ve rescued in 6 months, and again this eagles broke its pelvis bone after crashing into who knows what, due to lead poisoning.Yes BC allows and sells lead ammo, a neurotoxin that will kill an eagle in hours if not taken in for treatment.We took lead out of paint and gas decades ago, but don’t try to tell a hunter or mainstream media reporter, for they still defend its use.BC has 1800 endangered species, their cutting down the last 3% of old-growth forests, BCgov is insane and like the US it really doesn’t matter which party is in power…. the lack of consciousness is staggering
Jeff Butts, Director of Eagle SkyenetLead is a dangerous metal that can poison humans and wildlife; A fragment the size of a grain of rice is enough to kill an eagle.
Article from Orphaned Wildlife, www.owlrehab.org
Wildlife Rehabilitation facilities across the world see many cases of lead poisoning each year in many different species. The leading causes are due to the ingestion of fragments left from lead ammunition and fishing tackle. Fragments can be left behind in entrails and carcasses left in the field by people, in which raptors and other wildlife scavenge. Waterfowl, such as swans, geese, and ducks, dabble up lead fishing weights lost by fishermen or historic lead, which they mistake as pebbles and loons, osprey, and other fish-eating predators can ingest it from fish they consu
me. In turn, this poisons them and any predators who may eat them.Using lead to hunt waterfowl has been banned since the mid 90’s, yet the same dangerous material is still widely used for upland game birds, target shooting/vermin, and large game.
Many major ammunition and fishing tackle companies do offer non-lead
ammunition and fishing tackle. The alternatives have been widely tested and are proven to make a similar impact.Symptoms
If a raptor is poisoned by lead, they can be more prone at being hit by vehicles, hitting windows and other objects, and not be able to find food. If you find a downed raptor acting abnormally, please call OWL immediately.
Lead is a neurotoxin that affects all species, humans included. Symptoms of lead poisoning exhibit in various ways, such as loss of coordination, inability to stand, blindness, respiratory issues, etc.
