A piece missing from Esquimalt\u2019s big, blue sky is back where it belongs.<\/p>\n
The BC SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) said in a social media post Friday that an unhealthy eagle has been released in Esquimalt after receiving care in Metchosin and Vancouver.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis beautiful, young eagle came into care thin and dehydrated,\u201d Wild ARC explained. \u201cIt was very likely that she had been orphaned.\u201d<\/p>\n
After receiving a thorough assessment, blood work and supportive care at Metchosin-based Wild ARC, the eagle was transferred to Vancouver non-profit Orphaned Wildlife, where she continued building her strength and flight conditioning in flight pens.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to the dedication of wildlife rehabilitators at both centres, this eagle made a remarkable recovery,\u201d said Wild ARC. \u201cNow she\u2019s back where she belongs, soaring the skies of Esquimalt once again.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organization added that the eagle\u2019s story serves as an example of how teamwork can help injured wildlife lead the lives they were meant to live.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery release is a reminder of what\u2019s possible when a community comes together to help wildlife in need,\u201d it said. \u201cThank you to everyone who played a part in this eagle\u2019s journey from rescue to freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Experts help thin, dehydrated eagle return to Greater Victoria skies Published 4:30 pm Friday, October 16, 2026 A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":935925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[49,48,66,323],"class_list":["post-935924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-science","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=935924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/935924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/935925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=935924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=935924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=935924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
