Animal Releases

We had some incredible success stories this year resulting in wonderful release. Take a look at the recordings we took of the magical moments.

Eclipse the Bald Eagle

While every release is special, we had a particularly momentous one over the summer when we released Eclipse back into the wild. Our very own Sampson Metzgar dove into the Delaware River to save her, and after months of rehabilitation, we were able to release her back into the wild to be reunited with her mate and children.
