The Eagle Has Landed: Kodiak, Missing Majestic Eagle, Retrieved By National Aviary
The Steller's Sea Eagle week-long jaunt around Pittsburgh neighborhoods has ended.
PITTSBURGH, PA — After a week of adventures through city and suburban neighborhoods, Kodiak is back where he belongs. The National Aviary's Steller's Sea Eagle was retrieved safely on Sunday after being spotted by residents in Pine Township.
Using professional falconry techniques and equipment, aviary staffers recovered Kodiak and returned him to the aviary. A veterinary exam showed the eagle to be in excellent health. He was being fed meals of fresh meat Sunday night, according to aviary social media posts.
Kodiak escaped from the aviary on Sept. 25 and made headlines locally and nationally as people tracked his shifting whereabouts.
