Bald Eagles At Beardsley Zoo

BRIDGEPORT — Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo welcomes three bald eagles to the family. The three eagles, all male, are taking up residence in a newly constructed exhibit on zoo grounds.

“The zoo has been working for many years to bring bald eagles to Connecticut,” noted Gregg Dancho, zoo director. “With generous support from our sponsors, we are thrilled to have these three majestic animals join the zoo family.”

The exhibiting of bald eagles is done with permission from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These eagles were rescued from the wild due to wing damage that restricted their ability to fly.

The zoo’s new bald eagle exhibit was made possible with support from the following generous donors: The Brandywine Foundation, Jeff Liskov, Eagle Scout Troop 68, the Scott Family, the Stemme Family, Unilever United States Foundation, Inc, and The Connecticut Zoological Society Docent Association. Bridgeport architecture firm Antinozzi Associates donated the exhibit design.
