It’s difficult to see a symbol of America sedated and looking lifeless. But that's what our crew saw Thursday at Willowbrook Wildlife Center.
The veterinary team was checking its blood and taking X-rays, as they work to treat the bald eagle who arrived at the start of the year with a mystery medical problem.
That eagle arrived here just days after a female one. X-rays showed two fractures in the shoulder area, likely from a collision with a car. "We did have to bandage that bird's wing to the body. She was not thrilled about that," said Reich. The goal is to get the eagles into the bigger flight barn eventually where they could fly a 100-foot loop. But right now they’re just not strong enough.
