Eagle Release

Here’s a story about one tough lady eagle.  She was sitting beside the road snacking on a deer that had been hit by a car when she got startled and flew up into the path of an oncoming car.  The car hit her hard enough that it broke a headlight and then the eagle flipped off to the side of the car, hit the outside mirror and broke it off the car.  A second car came along and was too close to stop in time to avoid running over the eagle.  The driver stopped and discovered that the eagle was still alive so he brought it to Dr. Debbie.  Amazingly it didn’t have any broken bones and after some tender care at W&F it was pronounced ready to be released.
