Project Perch's heart goes out to the Eagle Forum and this Eaglet!!!

Owlets and eaglets need help to survive in a man-altered urban environment.  Project Perch just helped rescue an owlet who lost a foot to duct tape.  There are just so many problems to overcome.  

I'm learning that in S Florida, non-native invasive trees and cell phone towers are all the eagles have left.  These trees aren't designed like native pines to hold up an eagle nest, they sway in the storms and are really meant to be in Australia.  And so another eagle nest has failed.  It's heartbraking to watch.  

Luckily, one eaglet was found by this group!  The members of the forum and their leader, who watch over this eagle nest and help the eagles any way they can have saved this eaglet!  At least all is not lost.  Thanks to all of you and Peli Harbor, this eaglet gets a second chance at life and someday this eaglet will heal, grow up, gain flight and be released back into the Florida sky.  

Thank You!!!  Pride and Jewel thank you!!!!
