Saturday Links: Senior Bald Eagle at SF Zoo Dies at 40 Years Old

  • The San Francisco Zoo’s resident female bald eagle, Sureshot, passed away this week. The senior bird of prey came to the city’s foremost zoological facility in 1997 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after being injured; Sureshot was unable to be returned to the wild after being rehabilitated and, instead, served as a permanent wildlife ambassador for her species at the Zoo until her passing this week.
