Right on time with Independence Day just around the corner, a bald eagle was released back into its natural habitat on Thursday and soared high above the skies after being rehabilitated by the San Diego Humane Society’s (SDHS) wildlife specialists. SDHS’s Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center took in the injured, young eagle on June 8 after it was found in Warner Springs unable to fly with a wing droop, the Humane Society said in a statement. Quick to get to work, the center’s medical team treated the bird with fluids, nutrition and heat support before veterinarians performed blood tests, a lead test and radiographs to monitor the eagle’s health.
