Dollywood's Eagle Mountain Sanctuary Faces Challenge as Three Bald Eagles Remain Missing After Storm
Three bald eagles have gone missing from Dollywood's Eagle Mountain Sanctuary following a storm that damaged the aviary on April 19. The sanctuary, located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, is the largest group of non-releasable bald eagles in the United States. The American Eagle Foundation reported that the storm led to the escape of the eagles, named Wesley, Caesar, and Rockland. Efforts to locate the birds are ongoing, with ground teams actively searching. The eagles can be identified by colored bands on their legs and specific injuries. Wesley has a black leg band and a chronic shoulder injury, Caesar has an orange band and a wing injury from a fishing line, and Rockland has a healed fracture and an orange band. Residents near the park are encouraged to report sightings to the foundation but are advised not to approach or feed the birds.
