Rare golden eagle found in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean,
far from its usual habitat
By The Canadian Press
May 7 (National Post) -- TRURO, N.S. - A rare bird has
ended up in the care of a Nova Scotia rehabilitation centre
after being plucked from the Atlantic Ocean by fishermen.
The Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre usually sees
about 30 eagles a year, but last week they got an unexpected
visitor - a golden eagle.
"It came to us because it was found by some lobster
fishermen off the coast of Seal Island about three kilometres
into the ocean, which is a very unusual location for a golden
eagle to be," said Murdo Messer, co-founder of the Hilden,
N.S., centre.
"We figured maybe it went after a fish or got into the
water going after some prey and wasn't able to get back out.
"If the fishermen hadn't scooped him up, he definitely
wouldn't have survived."
According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the golden
eagle is one of the largest birds in North America, and is
usually found in the western U.S.
A golden eagle hunts in the Porcupine Hills west of
Claresholm on Monday June 12, 2017.
Messer said it's unusual for a golden eagle to be found in
this part of Canada.
Volunteers did a physical exam on the eagle when it
arrived at the centre, but did not find any obvious injuries.
"Its body condition was good. Its feather condition was
good and it was pretty feisty, and all those things would
indicate to us that whatever happened to it was fairly recent,"
said Messer.
"If you're able to pick up a wild animal there's
definitely something wrong because normally they would be
afraid of people and fly away or run away depending on what it
is. This golden eagle was fished out of the ocean which is a
very usual location for it to be because generally they're not
fish eaters. They're like hawks, they would go after land
mammals."
The rehab centre, which has been helping injured wildlife
for about 17 years, will spend the next few weeks monitoring
the bird to make sure it's healthy and can fly before being
returned to the wild.
