10 The Davey Bulletin | September/October 2017 An American bald eagle has a new lease on life thanks to Davey's Utility services and one of its clients, CenterPoint Energy, in northwest Houston. In February, a 17-year-old shot and killed a bald eagle, prompting a response from the local U.S. Fish and Wildlife office. Wildlife officers learned that an eaglet, between five and six weeks old, remained in the nest, and the other adult eagle was not tending to the young bird. "The nest itself was in the top of a pine tree probably about 70 feet up," said Brandon Freeman, account manager, CenterPoint Energy account. "Someone had contacted CenterPoint and asked if they could assist, and CENTERPOINT CREW RESCUES ABANDONED BALD EAGLE CenterPoint called us. It was obviously a good cause, so we said we would definitely do it." Davey provided a climber, who scaled the tree and rescued the abandoned eaglet. The eaglet was dehydrated and had not been fed, but wildlife officers gave it fluids and took it to the Wildlife Center of Texas in Houston for treatment, local news station KTRK reported. The wildlife center has been caring for hundreds of animals in the wake of the historic flooding Houston suffered during Hurricane Harvey. To support the shelter's mission, you can make a donation through their website at www.wildlifecenteroftexas.org/donate. This young eaglet was just five to six weeks old when a Davey climber rescued it from its nest after its parent had been killed. " As employee owners, we take better care of company equipment because at the end of the day that is money coming out of our pockets. Am I an employee owner? Yes, of course. In fact, I wish I would have bought stock 25 years ago when I first started with Davey. " — Jim Gabbard branch manager Commercial Landscape Services North Detroit, Michigan OWNER'S BOX
