Field Notes

Description:

Meet Sentinel!!
Banded as a nestling in Idaho on May 27, 1988, Sentinel migrated to California sometime as a young adult. In 1993, he flew into power lines near Winters, CA, and was electrocuted. His left wing was so severely injured, it had to be amputated. Sentinel came to Lindsay Wildlife Museum in 1994 and has been one of the museum’s most popular animal ambassadors. - See more at: http://wildlife-museum.org/blog/press-release/our-bald-eagle-has-a-new-…
