Eagle release 2009 Khan was released on Saturday, May 9 2009 near Hartsburg along the Missouri River. Khan, a mature bald eagle, was brought to the Project’s facility at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine on Feb. 22, after being found down in a field near Hartsburg. At that time, he was unable to fly very far leaving him unable to hunt successfully for food. An examination revealed that the only abnormalities in his condition were that he was underweight and covered in a sticky substance. Blood work revealed signs of muscle damage and elevated, but not dangerous levels, of lead. To treat the muscles, he was put on cage rest. Two baths removed the sticky residue. Khan was also treated for the lead poisoning to return his blood lead level back to normal. |
