Raptor News
May 2008 - Video Feature:
Lou Gaeta has been training raptors for 50 years. His latest challenge is Migisi, a 7 year old bald eagle at the Medina Raptor Center. As a three week-old chick, Migisi fell from her nest, badly breaking her leg. During treatment, she imprinted on humans and can not be released into the wild. She will be used as an educational bird.
