A young golden eagle was released Monday afternoon by Colorado Parks and Wildlife at the James M. Robb-Colorado River State Park-Island Acres Section after a five-month rehabilitation effort. The eagle, which had been discovered near the roller dam in early September, was a fledgling and was not able to fly yet. District Wildlife Manager Albert Romero said the bird was taken to Arrowhead Veterinary Hospital in Fruita, where it was examined and rehabilitation was recommended. âBack in (September), this eagle was a fledgling,â Romero said. âIt wasnât acting the way an eagle should. We were concerned about potential injuries, so we ended up taking it to a rehab facility. Now it was ready to be released.â
