Rehabilitated bald eagle released at Ballinger Park
EDMONDS — Three weeks ago, Mountlake Terrace residents near Ballinger Park found an injured bald eagle struggling in their backyard. The people called PAWS, a local adoption and wildlife rehabilitation center, to retrieve the raptor.
When PAWS staffers arrived to retrieve the injured eagle, they found the bird anemic and bruised.
After three weeks of rehabilitation, PAWS wildlife naturalist Anthony Denice and seasonal carpenter Pat Kent released the eagle in Ballinger Park, roughly half mile from where it was originally found.

Because of the eagle’s symptoms, the PAWS team suspects the bird fell victim to rodenticide poisoning, a pesticide for killing rodents.
