Thank you so very much for a beautiful report on a beautiful young eagle. NX, along with her siblings captured all of our hearts last year, and there they will remain. It is good to remember that when their mother, Lady Legacy, was laying NX's egg, it took a very long time, and poor Mom was extremely exhausted, as were those of us who witnessed it. That should have been a clue. Our little Diva has tickled out imaginations most of her life. For your excellent report to include Nx's vocalizations was the cherry on top. Thank you!
NX your fans love you. You are the one and only DIVA. Your mom and dad are so proud of you. You may not know it but the WCV vets and staff did save your life. They fixed what was wrong to make you strong and fiesty. Now you can do what you were born to do. SOAR NX SOAR. Feel the wind beneath your wings. Feel the freedom. Please stay away from the huge road monsters and the road kill. NX your fans love you/
Thanks for a great story. NX sounded like such a DIVA! Hope you see her sometime in your neck of the woods (but not on the side of the road eating dead deer!)
My computer has been down this week, so didn't get info on NX unti today. Thank you for posting this report. Tears flowing, but so happy that she is now back in the wild where she belongs. Great to hear how feisty the DIVA sounded.
NX took to the skies, complaining all the way. Such the Diva. Fear the Feisty says "Look out, I'm BAACK!" Godspeed, Ms. Feisty.
The day everyone has been waiting for & how perfect to hear her. Thank you for a wonderful report & allowing her thousands of fans to share in her flight to freedom.
So proud of you guys and ecstatic over the successful rehab and release! Live long and prosper, NX!
She's out "again" in the wild blue yonder. I wish you "good hunting" and a "long life", just DON'T PLAY IN THE STREET!!
This was a truly magnificent moment, and I have a full-blown photo of her really "Bad Hair Day" when she was brought back to WCV this time. She was ANGRY.
NX, NV, and NZ will always be very dear to our hearts, as is Dad Norfolk. He's our link to Ma and watching him and his harem this year was a source of laughter -He was like a kid locked up in a candy store. Unfortunately, no eggs this season but I think the females, although age 5, were not yet able to conceive,
The F he was with from September through early January was fully mature but, sadly, died of a broken neck after hitting a power line. They got along beautifully and Im greatful for the professional photos I have of them and they actualy look like they're laughing together but it was not meant to be.
Godspeed, NX... And stay out of trouble this time.
Thanks Ed, Dr Miranda and all of WCV's wonderful staff.
Thanks so much. Hearing the Diva was soo worth it. May she fly free and call home often.
For those of us who have known NX since she was growing in her egg, this report....and this release were a treasured gift. Thank you for your report. It was wonderful to hear NX calling out for her freedom. What a gift to Eagle Nation. Fly free. Be Safe, NX. Thank you Pamela...and all involved in NX's rehab and release. -Hawkwhisperer

Oh what a blessing this year has been watching the Rock Stars and now to see NX being released where she will be so very very happy. It is bittersweet to all of us who have watched her as you all have taken care of her. Thank you so much for all that you have done and in letting us share in this wonderful journey.

NX is finally back where she belongs. Certainly Bittersweet for all of us who love her and have watched her grow. Fly free Ms. Feisty...Great job Pamela.
Such a wonderful report, and thank you for finding this news item important enough to share. NX is near and dear to the hearts of thousands of people around the world, and to know she took off and had her "aha moment" gives all of us a great deal of relief. Apparently that came when she flew from the tree. We fans are all very happy. Thank you again for taking the time to report this wonderful news story. A happy story with a happy ending.
Loved hearing our Diva!!!! Loved it. Thank you!
