Overview
- The raptor slipped away on October 19 after a broken carabiner on its tether at the Harzfalkenhof in Bad Sachsa.
- Last confirmed reports placed the eagle in nearby forests, but forecast winds could carry it hundreds of kilometers in a day, the falconer told NDR.
- The bird is microchipped but has no GPS transmitter, leaving its whereabouts unknown.
- The public is asked to report sightings with photos to 0151-21 29 08 80 to avoid confusion with herons and other species.
- Raised in captivity and bonded to its handler, the eagle typically responds only to the falconer and may struggle to hunt, though it can go weeks without food.
