Arrival of young skinny eagle

This young golden eagle ended up in the backyard of a falconer. She was thin and weak after getting separated from her parents. The Falconer caught her and temporarily cared for her until Martin could come pick her up.

Martin gave her an exam and found no additional problems. Expecting a quick easy stay to give her time to regain weight and recover, he put her the large chamber with two other eagles.

There are certain behaviors Martin looks for to know when an eagle is ready for release. As of yet, she is not quite there. So she will stay a little longer until Martin is confident she is 100% physically fit and ready to start her second chance in the wild.
