Good evening.
Received the following from Lyme's licensed bird rehabilitator Catherine Greenleaf of St. Francis Wild Bird Hospital. Please keep your eyes open for it. If sighted please call Catherine at 603-795-4850, NH Fish & Game at 603-271-2461 or VT Fish and Wildlife at 802-828-1000. Another good contact is NH Audubon Raptor Specialist Chris Martin (603-224-9909, Ext. 317).
"There
is a juvenile Eagle that got caught in a leg-hold trap and is flying
around with it still attached to one foot. This eagle, I believe, came
from the nest at McNamara's Dairy in Plainfield. There have been several
sightings of him flying to the Lebanon landfill on Rte. 12-A looking
for food. Apparently, USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife set a bait box
trap but could not catch him."
