Seven months after losing its iconic golden eagle in May<\/a>, a new golden eagle has landed at ACES\u2019s Hallam Lake headquarters. The raptor had been injured and was not able to be returned to the wild, according to ACES. It was being treated at the Frisco Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Del Norte.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe eagle was found with a broken wing approximately 30 miles from Great Sand Dunes National Park in November 2018,\u201d ACES said in a news release. \u201cWhile the bird was at Frisco Creek, two things became clear to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife rehabilitators there. First, they determined that the bird\u2019s wing injury was severe enough that the eagle would not be able to return to the wild.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond, they noticed that the bird had an unusually calm demeanor, inspiring them to reach out to ACES after learning about the organization\u2019s loss of its beloved Golden Eagle who lived at Hallam Lake from 1982 until her death in May 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACES staff visited the rehabilitation center in August to get a feel for the bird. They liked it and applied to have it transferred to ACES as an educational raptor. The transfer was approved last week by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ACES\u2019s raptor handlers will start training her in January.<\/p>\n

The golden eagle can be viewed at its enclosure at Hallam Lake. The golden eagle can be viewed during ACES\u2019s winter hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free.<\/p>\n
