Baby Bald Eagle Rescue

Libby Aragon, Class of 2024

Heavy May thunderstorms knocked a bald eagle nest with 2 eaglets out of its tree near White Rock Lake. One eaglet was found and rescued thanks to quick action by local neighbors and the City of Dallas. Blackland Prairie Raptor Center was able to assess the eaglet and determined it was in good health. They were able to quickly return the baby bald eagle, named Henley, to its parents for reintroduction in the original nesting area. For full details, watch this CBS News story about the amazing rescue. Be sure to follow Blackland Prairie Raptor Center on Facebook for more updates on Henley and its parents.
