Dr Marion Desmarchelier rehabilitates eagle for release
An eagle had been brought into the Atlantic Veterinary College because it was unable to fly. It was brought back to health and strength and released in August in Stanhope.
The PEIVMA made a donation to the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at the University of Prince Edward Island as part of Animal Health Week in October 2011.
Here is a letter of thanks from Dr Marion Desmarchelier, and one, two, three photos of the release.
