Kittenface, Valor is actually not doing well. The eaglet was transferred to another facility with a large flight cage, but is apparently very underweight and anemic. He/she has no broken bones, ingested fish hooks, or lead poisoning, but something is not right with this youngster. Valor had fledged, possibly accidentally in the middle of the night on 7/26 and was not seen again until the rescue on 7/31. This eaglet was behind the older sibling developmentally while in the nest. Praying for the best. |

this is so sad Washington DC Eagle Cam Watchers is feeling heartbroken. Yesterday at 3:35 PM · Dear chatters: Here is the latest and last update on our precious Valor: This is directly quoted from The Tri-State Bird Rescue Facebook page: It is with heavy hearts that we share this update. The lack of improvement in Valor’s neurologic symptoms after a week of aggressive supportive care led us to the decision to humanely end Valor’s suffering before his condition deteriorated further. We learned yesterday afternoon that Valor had tested positive for West Nile virus; we had suspected that this was the cause of his symptoms. Infection with this virus is not always fatal in birds; however, after seven days of intensive supportive care, Valor remained slow to respond to stimuli and displayed no signs of improvement. He had to be force-fed as he showed no appetite and refused to hand-feed or self-feed. Valor was extremely lethargic and had head and body tremors—signs of advancing West Nile disease. Our professional assessment was that it was extremely unlikely that he would recover, even for placement at an educational facility. Subjecting him to further treatment, handling, and captivity and prolonging his suffering would have been inhumane and contrary to our principles as wildlife rehabilitators. A necropsy will be performed at another facility. In the past five years, we’ve treated 300 Bald Eagles along with over 10,000 other wild birds that have relied on us for care. As professionals, we do our very best for each and every single patient, as we always have and will continue to do, and this includes Valor. We share the deep sorrow you feel for his loss and hope you know that your passion for native wildlife matters. It is so inspiring to see the community rally behind a wild animal in need; thank you to everyone who showed support for Valor and Tri-State. While this outcome was not what we wanted, there are thousands of success stories of animals receiving a second chance at life in the wild at our center and wildlife rehabilitation centers around the world—this is what motivates our staff and volunteers to continue caring for wildlife in need every day.

Thank you for your understanding that we do not have the resources to reply to individual questions or phone calls about this case. raptor.umn.edu West Nile Q: What is the West Nile virus?A: The West Nile virus belongs to a group of viruses known to cause encephalitis, a potentially fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord.

Thanks Bev. I just saw this sad news on their website today. What a shame. Monday's report from Tristate was not good and I planned to wait a few days before checking again. Valor had such sweet personality. A very vocal eaglet. This is so sad. West Nile is well know to me. It is quite prevalent where I live in NY. Mosquito pools are routinely tested for the virus. It causes illness and/or death in people every year. Wash DC had a tremendous amount of rainfall this spring and summer. No doubt there are a lot of mosquitos. I follow the Medina Raptor Center in Ohio and they usually have to euthanize infected birds. Once infected, their chance of survival is poor. I just checked the geographic distribution of West Nile and it has extended into Canada - primarily the southern border of Manitoba. I am very much against spraying pesticides to control this virus, which they have done in the past in my county. We would get advance notice to close windows and stay indoors while they flew helicopters over our homes and sprayed Scourge. Yikes! They have not done this the last 2 yrs. I think they recognize the dangers in blanketing neighborhoods in pesticide. It's a shot gun approach. Doing so will never eradicate the virus. Removing stagnant water and increasing the bat and fish population are better options to control the insects that harbor the virus. Thank you for posting. Fly forever free Valor. |
