Wildlife hospital treats two bald eagles; one severely poisoned by lead, a common issue in birds of prey.
Bend Wildlife Hospital, Think Wild, is treating two bald eagles; one, Bald Eagle 25-93, suffers from severe lead poisoning with a lead level of 22.2 µg/dL, more than double the dangerous threshold for raptors.
Lead poisoning often comes from consuming lead ammunition fragments in game or prey.
Since 2021, Think Wild has treated over 20 birds of prey for lead poisoning, with only six surviving and released.
The second eagle, Bald Eagle 25-47, is recovering from a fractured femur and a related pressure ulcer.
