Some news of Ozzie, who has been in rehabilitation for six weeks now for his injury (from March 17th):

I missed the live sending of WINK News today, but the CROW clinic also reports news of Ozzie

It is said on the WINK News that Ozzie's return to the wild would happen within a month. So his rehabilitation has taken more time than was estimated in the beginning (6 weeks) - the CROW person says that because of Ozzie's high age the recovering time is longer. Anyway they say that they have numerous cases like Ozzie - so it gives me hope that he will recover and be released in the wild again.
Ozzie was found injured nearby a railway - he can have crashed with a train, car or a wall perhaps when chasing a prey - no-one knows what happened. His clavicle was broken. He had a bandage on his wing for weeks and he got physical training for his wing every three days until now, but I understand that the bandage has been removed now and he has been moved to a bigger cage where he can freely strengthen his muscles himself. He has got up in weight which means that he never lost his appetite. Many fish stores have happily donated fish heads to the clinic during Ozzie's being there. Ozzie is maybe the most famous bald eagle at least in Florida today - the media has followed his rehabilitation intensively.
Meanwhile Ozzie's offspring, E6, has been training eagle life with his mother Harriet - both have done it excellently together and E6 has even brought own prey to the nest so far and chased away an intruding eagle from stealing his food. E6 was just about to fledge when Ozzie got injured. It is likely that E6 flies out from the home nest before Ozzie gets home - E6 was last seen in the area yesterday. But I hope Ozzie and Harriet get a future together again next breeding season next autumn.
I wish you, Nick&Noel and Romeo&Juliet, beautiful eagle lives!
