Hatched:
Mar 29,
2010
Death: Jul 14, 2010
|
|
Doug
and Sheila Carrick, the Hornby Eagle Group and friends, are shocked
and saddened to report the sudden collapse and death of our beloved
Phoenix. A rescue effort was underway, but the eaglet's decline was sudden and
swift. We ask that you remember Phoenix by supporting the work of
rehabbers all around the world. The work they perform is invaluable to
the health and welfare of all wildlife.
We love you Phoenix, and we mourn with Mom and Dad Hornby.
