Update on the golden eagle (CLICK HERE to read the whole story and watch the rescue video): The bird suffered a compound fracture of its wing. We believe the injury was caused by the bird hitting transmission lines. The good news is that the eagle (in care at Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley) is eating well - charging at its caretakers less, and gaining weight. He is going in for a risky surgery on Monday - a surgery that will cost the wildlife center close to $2,000.00. We have set up a fund to help our colleagues cover this expense.

Yesterday, WildRescue's San Francisco Bay Area Team Leaders, Max and Patrick, hosted our first Crafting For Wildlife, in Oakland. It was a tremendous success. Read all about it, HERE.
