We want to share an update on one of the most severe lead poisoning cases we have treated this winter—one of two severe cases severe cases this season.

This Bald Eagle was admitted to our care after being rescued by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Natural Resources Department. After several days of treatment, the eagle initially rallied and showed encouraging signs of improvement. Unfortunately, about a week into care her condition began to decline rapidly, and she was ultimately provided a humane end to prevent further suffering.

Blood testing revealed lead levels that were astronomical. In fact, this eagle had enough lead circulating in her blood to be lethal to approximately 20 eagles.

Lead poisoning remains one of the leading causes of death for Bald Eagles in our region. Eagles are often exposed when they scavenge on animals left in the field after hunting or ingest fragments from carcasses and gut piles, as well as from lost fishing tackle.

At the Skegemog Raptor Center, we strongly support the hunting and fishing community. Many hunters and anglers are dedicated conservationists who care deeply about wildlife and healthy ecosystems. Our goal is education and awareness so that together we can reduce these preventable losses.

We encourage everyone to learn more about non-lead alternatives for ammunition and fishing tackle through our partners at Sporting Lead-Free : https://sportingleadfree.org

Please consider sharing this information with friends, family, and others in the hunting and fishing community. Small changes can make a significant difference for eagles and other wildlife.
