  Speaker 1: Wildlife Refuge AIDS. Birds rescued by eagle to eye Kentucky
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Strait State Trooper by Christopher Harris. There may be nothing
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: more appropriate than one could do to celebrate America's two
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth birthday than to rescue a bald eagle,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But that's just what one Kentucky State Police trooper did,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and with the help of one of the area's most
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: notable wildlife organizations located here in Pulaski County, that bird
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is flying high once again. What's more, it has a
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: new and most appropriate name, Trooper, according to Kentucky State
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Police Post eleven Affairs Officer Corey Jones, who recently took
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: over that position for the KSP post located in London,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: which also serves the Pulaski Area. Trooper tray Lovin's came
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: upon the juvenile eagle near Collins Lane in Corbin on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: June thirtieth, following a nine to one one call about it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The bird was in a cemetery surrounding by a chain
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: link fence and was unable to fly to get over
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the fence to get out. It was emaciated, said Jones.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It wasn't flying. There was no bodily injury to it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It was just malnourished. I don't think it had much
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: fight in it. He captured it with his hands and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: put it in the backseat of his Krueger the Cruiser,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and then transported it to Lake Cumberland Wile Life Refuge,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: home of the Liberty Nature Center, the well known local
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: organization that grew out of the raptor rehabilitation program at
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Southwestern High School from decades ago. Rescuing a bird like
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this is definitely not standard procedure for a KSP trooper,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: noted Jones. But while a dispatch called like this might
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: normally go to the local branch of the state Department
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of Fish and Wildlife, there spread pretty thin, said Jones,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so Loving's went out to check it out. That weekend
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: happened to be the start of the week long celebration
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: leading up to Independence Day, which this year represented America
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to fifty, the nation's milestone semi quincential birthday. Levin said
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: that it was the weekend of the two hundred and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary and he felt like helping the bird was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the right thing to do, said Jones. Just called Pailowski,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: wildlife rehabber and eagle handler at Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: was one who handled trooper and released him once he
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: was healthy again. State Trooper Lovings contacted us a few
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: days before the fourth of July, said Polowski. Upon examination,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we figured out that it was very emaciated and lethargic.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Trooper said, what pardon me, Trooper was a subadult, meaning
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: about three years old. They're fully a mature bald eagle
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: when their head turns completely white, said Polotski. So when
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they're in that phase of almost a teenager to adult,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they're called subadult. Where you can see that he had
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the white with the brown still kind of mixed in it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Pulaski said that the refuge gets calls daily about injured raptors,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that people find in various places, and actually got two
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: other eagles around the same time with a type of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a fiction found in the road, emaciated and unable to fly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Those two are still at the facility being rehabbed and
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: are expected to be released within about a month or
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: so time. Polatchski said it didn't appear that there was
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: a direct connection between the three cases, as the birds
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: were all found in different places. As for a more
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: indirect connection, it might have been from the heave, it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: might have been the draft, any kind of environmental condition
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that is harsh on them, Definitely, it will affect them,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: she said. But everyone's been doing great, and Trooper definitely
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was the zestiest one of the three of them, she added,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: telling us that he was ready to go. After spending
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: about a month that the Wildlife Refuge, Trooper was in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: shape to survive on his own. He was given a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: nutritional diet to help gain weight, rats and quail, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: two specific items on the menu that were ideally fit
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for an eagle, and was moved into an aviary where
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he could condition his flight muscles. On July thirty first,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Trooper was released back into the wild at Holly Bay,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a recreational area around Laurel Lake. Polotski noted that they
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: tried to put him back in a place close to
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: where he was originally found. Laurel Lake is absolutely beautiful,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: so we just thought that would be a good spot
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: for him, said Polotski. Trooper's name is very fitting. One.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: The bird was a trooper, as is often said, hanging
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in there and stained tough despite adversity. And two, of course,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: in honor of Trooper Lovings brought him in to safety
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: in the back of a cruiser. This is a trooper
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that just saw a problem involving an animal, especially being
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a bald eagle. I think as Americans we are all
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: kind We all kind of hold that special place for
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the bird. And he took it upon himself to help it,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: said Jones of Loving's as human, Tray just takes it
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: upon himself when he sees something that needs help, he's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: going to help it. And there is a picture of
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the state trooper and the trooper bird, and underneath the
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: caption reads KSP Trooper Tray Lovins watched as bald eagle
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: named in his honor. Trooper took flight again at Holly
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Bay on Laurel Lake on Julava thirty first after being
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: rehabbed back to health thanks to Lovin's action in June.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And there's another picture of him in these bhind bars.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But underneath that caption it says after being found in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a cemetery unable to fly shortly before Independence Day, a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: juvenile bald eagle who would come to be named Trooper
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was given a ride in a Kentucky State Police cruiser
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and taken to Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge in Pulaski County
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: for help. All right, Our next article is nighttime Helicopter

• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Woodbine Search and Rescue Squad launched an inflatable Zodiac boat

  Speaker 1: boat built below Laurel River Dam power plant. Those efforts
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: were unsuccessful after low water levels made access by boat impossible.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Emergency Management then requested assistance from the Kentucky State
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Police Aircraft Support Branch. Using a helicopter hoist, The Aircraft
