Fuck, if only it could fly again you could have taught it to fly off with your deer :D That thing is wicked! We don't get uch more than seagulls around here, if that's a baby, how big do those things grow??
I never managed to get as close to an adult as I have this one but the adults out here look like they stand about 4ft/1.2m with almost a 6ft/1.2m wingspan.

Could have very well been Gods/your
calling to find the Eagle and something very
good and special will come with this I know.
Don't they call these birds Majestic?

So how long did you have the eagle for anyways? Have a chance to try to feed him or anything like that? Was the eagle terrified or in pain?
It calmed down shortly after I wrapped it with a blanket.

I only had it for about 30mins, the Raptor center is less then 10min away.

You did the right thing.+rep,That isnt a bald eagle is it?As for being shot thats quite upsetting who would wanna hurt a beautiful animal like that?The other day I was cleaning out my truck and heard some comotion behind me.I turned around just in time to see the resident red tailed hawk swoop down and snag something then punk all the rest of the birds around out and fly away with it.Was pretty cool.I got a koi pond and last summer a blue heron was in my back yard eating my fish,I wanted to kill it but didnt so I put up some counter measures.Thinking about putting up a hawk house this spring I hear they are enimies of the heron.

lol ya When I seen the word baby, I was expecting to see something very small, like crow size or something, not that big lol. It would be neat if you could have nursed it back to health yourself. Back when I was a kid Me and a friend found a crane with a broken wing that got washed in by the tide. It could not fly, and was walking very lousy with no balance. It still had lots of energy, it was pecking at our faces, terrified. We didn't know what to do, We told an older gentleman about it, and he got a box and we put it inside a big box. He took it to the vet or some animal place and what ended up happening was it got put down. It was very upsetting, trying to save an animal to only find out they just kill them. I was only about seven at the time.

It's sad that people can look at these big beautiful birds as nuisances just because they take fish out of stocked ponds.

I'm sure the Eagle(s) didn't go thru
the windshield(s), kill people and itself on purpose.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, 420 you're the man!

That is really awesome of you, I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't have gone the extra mile.

And if someone is shooting eagles, that's fucked up!!! Is there not a law against it?

I'm pretty sure it's a Federal crime. I don't like dealing with cops though so hopefully I don't find out who did it.
