On April 25th, Horizon Wings welcomed its newest educational ambassador Atka. Atka is a young male Bald eagle who came to us from Washington State, where he was found in August of 2010 with an injury to his shoulder, leaving him unreleasable.
Atka is settling into his new home very well and will be in training until we feel he is ready to make his first public appearance. We are extremely excited about our new addition, as it will greatly enhance our educational programs in the future.
You can read more about Atka on our Program Birds page, with some additional images of his move to our facilities below.
