CE: Wildlife Center of Virginia Bald Eagle Release at Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve
2024-10-31 13:00 | Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve, 28583 Baker Road, Parksley, VA, United States
After two months of treatment and care, Bald Eagle #24-3548 is ready to return to the wild – and you can join us for the release! Please see RSVP info below.
This adult Bald Eagle was found near the Tyson Plant in Accomack County on August 27, 2024. The eagle was spotted on the ground and was not able to fly; observers reported that the bird’s feathers were dirty and crusted. Wildlife rehabilitator Gay Frazee captured the bird and transferred him to the Center for treatment.
The Center’s veterinary team noted that the eagle’s feathers were in very poor condition, but did not find any injuries during the physical exam or on radiographs. During the next two weeks, vet staff provided fluids and supportive care for the eagle while his feather condition improved. The eagle exhibited signs of severe stress during care, so the team also gave the bird daily medication for anxiety.
By mid-September, the eagle’s feather condition had improved, and he was moved to an outdoor flight pen for flight conditioning. The eagle flew strongly and had good form during flight, but lacked the stamina needed to survive in the wild. The rehab team performed daily exercise sessions with the bird to help him rebuild his stamina. By October 25, the bird’s stamina had improved, and the eagle was cleared for release.
This eagle will be released at the Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve on Thursday, October 31, at 1:00 p.m. Wildlife Center President Meg will give a presentation on the Center’s life-saving work with Bald Eagles and then open the crate door to release the eagle.
Join us to watch the bird return home! The release is free and open to the public. Attendees are asked to RSVP with the name and number of people in their party through this webform.
Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve Address: 28583 Baker Rd, Parksley, VA 23421
The release will take place rain or shine, unless thunderstorms with lightning threaten visitor safety.

Speaker Bio: Christina Trapani moved to Virginia Beach from Rhode Island in 1995 after receiving her degree in Business Management from Western Carolina University. She worked with stranded sea turtles and marine mammals with the Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program for about 12 years, where she witnessed the impacts of marine debris on the animals she worked with and the beaches she worked on. She led her first International Coastal Cleanup in 2002 and in 2008 started Eco Maniac Company, a retail business that offers reusable alternatives to single-use plastics.
After leaving the Aquarium in 2013, Christina started working as a marine debris researcher and consultant to organizations such as the Virginia Aquarium and Clean Virginia Waterways. She’s been involved in several litter research, prevention and education projects in Virginia including a statewide marine debris monitoring program, a balloon litter monitoring program, a cigarette litter prevention program, and a litter prevention and education program called Keep It Beachy Clean.
In August of 2024, Christina became the Executive Director of Clean Virginia Waterways and is looking forward to this new role and all the new opportunities to help solve the issue of plastic pollution. Christina also enjoys working part-time as a naturalist on dolphin and whale watching boats in Virginia Beach, paddleboarding, casual bike rides and hanging out with her partner, Eric and dog, Mr. Brown.

Presenter: Gabrielle Ripa is a PhD student at Virginia Tech who is studying how to limit invasive plants on stream restoration projects in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Because of her background in wildlife ecology, Gabrielle is also seeking to connect the changes to the stream environment, due to invasion and restoration, to the animal community through acoustic monitoring. She hopes her work can inform the design of restoration projects that are better at recovering both plant and animal communities.
