Abstract
A technique is described for returning injured Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) to the wild. Criteria for judging whether an eagle is capable of release are discussed. The movements of several successfully released eagles are described, together with the advantages of winter release. A survey of zoos and government facilities in the United States shows that at least 44.4 percent of all captive Bald Eagles suffer from man-caused injuries.
