Black Creek Wildlife Station

Donation protected
On August 9th a juvenile bald eagle was found in the North Hilton area.  Black Creek Wildlife Station was called and they took the eagle into their care to start treatment and rehabilitation.

Black Creek Wildlife Station is a non-profit organization that helps rehabilitate many types of wildlife. They were established in 1995 by Gary & Trish Zimmerman. Black Creek Wildlife Station is committed to the care and rehabilitation of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Their ultimate goal is to release rehabilitated wildlife back into their natural habitat with a new lease on life and a second chance on a prosperous future.

The bald eagle was transported to Churchville Veterinary Hospital, P.C. to undergo professional veterinary care.  There, Dr. Rick Parsons preformed an initial exam and discovered that she had severe muscle trauma of unknown origin.  Blood work was preformed, and fluids were administered.  Black Creek Wildlife Station offered the eagle supportive care, rest, and a safe place to recover.

The bald eagle made huge strides in its recovery.  Within a few short days she was able to fly in the flight cage that was made possible by Waste Management. A flight cage is designed to aid in the rehabilitation of birds that will be released back into the wild. Waste Management has not only provided the funds for the flight cage which is an enormous contribution, they also allow rehabilitated wildlife to be released at their facility on Brew Road in Churchville, NY. 

The bald eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America. In the late 20th century it was on the brink of extinction in the United States. Populations have since recovered and the species was removed from the U.S. government's list of endangered species on July 12, 1995 and transferred to the list of threatened species. It was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007.
