Eagle in Need

From the director of Wildwoods:

Thanks so much to P and M, who brought this wounded bald eagle down from Cook this evening, after she’d been hit by a car. Thanks to them, she has a chance. She needs a ride to the Raptor Center asap; please call us at 218-491-3604 if you can help. Pictures courtesy of N, who helped in the care of this bird.  Please “share” this; let’s find this bird a ride. Time is of the essence to save her wing. Thanks! – Wounded bald eagle 10/13/12

What amazes me is the quiet dignity with which eagles carry themselves even in times of injury and great pain.

    Any updates? Was someone able to give this critter a ride?

    Whatever happened to the special needs eagle at the Aquarium?

    It turns out this eagle had been shot, not hit by a car as originally thought. It had to be euthanized because its wing was destroyed by the gun shot.
