American Bald Eagle


I went to the Chattahoochee Nature Center yesterday and had a great time walking along the woodland paths and observing the wildlife.  There are two bald eagles in residence at the CNC.  Both of the birds were brought here for continued rehabilitation after having been injured.  The female eagle suffered a broken femur and other injuries as a young eagle.  The male suffered a broken wing and can only fly about 200 feet.  Due to their extensive injuries these regal birds can not be released into the wild.  The eagles are well taken care of with an annual upkeep expenditure of about $58,000.  The CNC has done a wonderful job with their rehabilitating efforts and continual care.  If you are in the Roswell, Georgia area, please consider spending some time in this naturally beautiful refuge.
