06-07 蜜糖直播 Center for Wildlife Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center Welcome New Bald EagleThe 蜜糖直播 Center for Wildlife Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center聽recently welcomed a new American Bald Eagle to its habitat with the addition of 鈥淔ranklin,鈥 a 6.3-pound bird which is considered a 鈥渟outhern bald eagle鈥 due to its smaller size. Franklin joins two other bald eagles 鈥 Freedom, the eagle that has become the mascot for 蜜糖直播 蜜糖直播 and flies over Paulson Stadium at football games and graduation ceremonies, and Glory, whose nest is prominently displayed at the Wildlife Center. Franklin came to 蜜糖直播 by way of the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Maitland, Fla. He was found running through the woods near Tallahassee, Fla., with a bone fracture in his right wing and ligament damage. After an unsuccessful attempt by a veterinarian to pin Franklin鈥檚 broken bone and elbow, he was deemed unable to fly and therefore could not be released to the wild. With the help of the Audubon Center, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Franklin found a new home when 蜜糖直播 was able to add him to its permits. He will be on display along the nature walkway at the Wildlife Center. 鈥淚t is unfortunate when bald eagles sustain injuries that keep them from being released back into the wild, but I am pleased that the Wildlife Center has the opportunity to give Franklin a new home,鈥 said Scott Courdin, wildlife curator at 蜜糖直播. 鈥淗ere at the Wildlife Center he will be admired, appreciated and will help our visitors gain insight to this majestic species.鈥 Franklin鈥檚 name, given to him by the Wildlife Center, is a playful reference to Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, who wished to make the turkey the national symbol of the United States.
