A Bald Eagle was found October 16, 2004 by Mr. & Mrs. John Walls and their family on their Mercer County farm in Speedway, WV. He was quite weak and was suffering from gunshot injuries to his body and right wing. His left wing was also badly broken from falling out of the sky. TRAC Executive Director Wendy Perrone picked the bird up from the Walls family and with the assistance of volunteer and neighbor Marko Jorden, administered emergency treatment and got him stabilized. Marko had named him Comanche by the end of the initial intake procedures as a tribute to the eagle’s spirit.

even persist night after night for weeks.
