We want him back unharmed. It is a federally-protected bird and cannot survive in the wild as he has an amputated wing.Sam was brought to the sanctuary in 1988 by officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after a gunshot wound left him unable to fly.He loves freshly caught fish and enjoys taking baths, according to the refuge.Quogue Wildlife Refuge, a 300-acre nonprofit nature preserve, was founded in 1934 and is home to various wildlife.The $12,500 reward being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case includes $5,000 each from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Nassau and Suffolk counties and $2,500 from Suffolk County Crime Stoppers.“This investigation has led investigators throughout the tri-state area and into several states,” Quogue Village Police Chief Christopher Isola said Saturday.Refuge director Michael Nelson said his main concern is Sam's safety.The eagle's been with us for 31 years and it needs a proper diet in order to survive, Nelson said.In captivity, bald eagles can live up to 50 years, according to the National Eagle Center in Minnesota.

Long Island Piney Power show: Nothin' But Great Shapes at Sarnoff
This is the David.A.Sarnoff Pine Barrens preserve, located just south of Riverhead off of Suffolk County Route 63. In this hike, I show you the northern area of the park which is almost entirely pines and dry, sandy, desert like areas full of various lichens. I'm also in a good mood because JVC Broadcasting finally fixed the audio on one of my favorite rock stations, WRCN, so I can enjoy listening to Van Halen and ACDC without getting a headache from the telephone line quality audio.
The weather was beautiful, and I wish I'd have been able to make this hike longer, but, one of my shoes was wearing out causing pain in my foot.
