Christmas Day 2014 this female eagle was rescued by members of the Qualicum Beach Fire department. Thin and suffering from a bad infection in the right leg, this bird’s future was uncertain. Because it was Christmas Day, we called her ‘Noel’. Following a few courses of medication and lots of TLC, the wound healed and she regained full use of her foot. After a long stay in North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre’s large flight pen, Noel was finally freed in the same place she had been rescued almost six months earlier.
