Rescued bald eagle rehabbing broken wing
SHARON, CT (WFSB) A bald eagle rescued by a hiker in Thomaston is rehabbing a broken wing at the Sharon Audubon Center.
The bald eagle, which was unable to fly, was found last week near the Thomaston Dam and carried 3 miles to safety.
Environmental Conservation Police then helped bring the bird to the audubon center.
The center shared an update on the bird over the weekend.
“Thankfully, this bird did not exhibit any symptoms of poisoning or toxicity, which are always top concerns when admitting a bald eagle into our clinic,” it said. “She is in excellent body condition, weighing a whopping 11 pounds! However, she has sustained a broken wing.”
