For the shell/bone identification\, TNC lends us a bin of shells and bones collected locally. For the viewing platform\, the leader will take 5 students at a time up to look out over the marsh. You can talk about marsh habitat\, tides\, and the Barrier Islands with them. The classes will rotate through each activity. \n\n\nTo sign up or get more information please contact Sam Willis\, Community Outreach Coordinator. \n\nBetter Impact Category 15: Eastern Shore Land Trust Children’s Field Trips

SUMMARY:CE: Wildlife Center of Virginia Bald Eagle Release at Mutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nThe 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. \nBy 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. \nThis 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. \nJoin 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. \nMutton Hunk Fen Natural Area Preserve Address: 28583 Baker Rd\, Parksley\, VA 23421 \nThe release will take place rain or shine\, unless thunderstorms with lightning threaten visitor safety. \n\nLog hours under Better Impact Category 2: Continuing Education.
