While it is rare to find bald eagles in this area of the country, wildlife officials were able to determine rather quickly that the bird was suffering from stress, after he was taken to the Humane Rescue Alliance for examination.
On Facebook, the organization wrote that the eagle is “bright and alert.”
The eagle will be transferred to a different center to make sure it is healthy enough before it is returned to its natural habitat.
