A juvenile bald eagle presented to the clinic today after being found in a sewage treatment plant. The team washed the sewage off of her and took a blood sample. They will run diagnostic tests on the blood to determine if her organs are functioning normally and the proportions of different white blood cells circulating in her blood.
You'll notice that this bald eagle has dark feathers on her head. Young bald eagles are completely brown. The white head feathers come in when the bird is around 4 or 5 years old.
