KXLY May 11, 2021 6:49 PM Esther Bower Hikers were on a trail near Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge when they spotted an eagle in distress. “The bird was unconscious, barely alive, eyes closed, barely breathing and collapsed on the floor of the forest,” recalled Janie Veltkamp, the Director at Birds of Prey Northwest. The hiker caller Birds of Prey, and they were able to coach him through delivering the eagle to their rehabilitation center, which is where he’s been for the past two months. They later discovered the eagle had eaten a euthanized animal, and the poison had almost killed him. To recover, Veltkamp had to pump his stomach and give the eagle lots of fluids and vitamin shots. Amazingly, the eagle made a full recovery.
