Ed Clark of the Wildlife Center of Virginia holds a rehabilitated bald eagle before releasing it at Mason Neck State Park in Lorton. The female eagle could not fly and was suffering from dehydration and facial abrasions when found in May. Clark is the Wildlife Center’s president and co-founder. Mason Neck is used as a release site because it is prime eagle habitat and connects with the 2,200-acre Elizabeth Hartwell Mason Neck National Wildlife Refuge.
