SVENSEN — The Cas-
cades Raptor Center in
Eugene released a juvenile
American b ald e agle Sunday
at Wolf Bay Wetlands near
Svensen.
The eagle, with dark eyes,
plumage and the beak of a
juvenile, took off out of the
gate, fl ying in spurts west
along Burnside Loop in the
direction of the Twilight
Eagle Sanctuary.
Laurin Huse, the rehabil-
itation director at the cen-
ter, said the eagle, which
probably hatched in May,
was taken into a rehabili-
tation clinic near Renton,
Washington, at less than a
month old, orphaned but
uninjured. Transferred to
Eugene, the eagle was raised
and taught to fl y by another
patient.
The eagle was driven
around 200 miles north for
release because the food is
better on the L ower Colum-
bia River than in the Willa-
mette Valley.
“We’d rather her learn
how to hunt on wild food,”
Huse said, adding the eagle’s
second year will be a test of
survival.
