Age: hatched 1979 Sex: Male Weight: 8 pounds Date of Recovery: 1983 Location of recovery: Hayward, Wisconsin Original problem: Badly dislocated right shoulder, unable to extend his wing, unable to fly, probably hit by a car
Leuc came to The Raptor Center after he was found, injured but standing, on a road near Hayward, Wisconsin.
On April 27, 1989, Leuc and members of The Raptor Center staff participated in the bicentennial celebration commemorating the inauguration of President George Washington. The Raptor Center was invited to New York where various ceremonious events took place, in which Luec was the official ambassador to represent America's national symbol, the bald eagle. Dr. Gary Duke and Dr. Pat Redig also received the Director's Award for Humane Excellence from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
While Leuc and his Raptor Center associates attended these official functions in New York City, they were given accommodations at The Waldorf Astoria.
