Hello and thanks for researching this very important question!

How kind of you to take an interest in this case!

There are a number of resources available to you in Oregon where you might find someone who can assist remotely, or in person! They include:

1) The Oregon Veterinary Medical Association. They have a listing for Veterinary Ophthalmologists--you would want someone who practices on birds (not all do):

2) The Oregon Zoo Raptor Group:

3) the Malheur Wildlife Refuge:
