THOMASTON An injured bald eagle is recovering from a wing injury after a hiker found it hiding in a ditch near Thomaston Dam on Wednesday.
Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police said an unsuspecting hiker found the eagle injured and “unable to fly” about four miles north of Thomaston Dam.
The hiker, a retired police officer, reportedly wrapped the eagle up in his jacket and walked him back down the trail, singing “America the Beautiful” along the way, he later told the Hartford Courant.

Through the magic of Facebook, turns out the rescuing hiker is a friend of a few of my friends, and I saw the original post this morning when I woke up. Here it is:
Mr. Colombie was out for an afternoon hike in Thomaston yesterday, when he came upon a Bald Eagle that couldn t fly, turns out that it had a broken wing, so, with the help of a couple of other hikers, Mr. Colombie safely picked up the injured Eagle, and brought it to the safety of Connecticut State Environmental Conservation Police Officer Chickos.
