We have seen an increase in lead poisoning cases over the last few years in our Oklahoma bald and golden eagles at the GSEH. A new study puts what we are observing locally into a range wide perspective, showing the devastating impacts lead poisoning is having on bald and golden eagles nation wide. In this article, GSEH Director Dr. Megan Judkins was part of a group of people interviewed about their thoughts on the new study and lead poisonings in eagles.
Mission: The Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma’s Grey Snow Eagle House strives to be the leader in eagle conservation. Through rehabilitation, education, research, and providing sanctuary to permanently injured eagles, we continue to preserve this culturally important species for future generations.
