Record-Eagle/Jan-Michael Stump
A crowd watches as a rehabilitated juvenile bald eagle is released back into the wild on Monday morning by Rebecca Lessard of Wings of Wonder. The female bird, nearly a year old, was found near Marquette suffering from what was believed to be West Nile Virus. Lessard rehabilitated the raptor for over 4 months before releasing it outside Glen Lake Schools in Maple City, then later at Inspiration Point overlooking Glen Lake when the bird didn't fly to a perch high enough to take off again.
