Rescuers save eagle with broken wing

https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/rescuers-save-eagle-with-broken-wing-3-photos-1068464

Injured bald eagle found in northwestern Ontario 'has a shot' thanks to rescuers

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/injured-eagle-thunderbird-wildlife-rescue-1.4843490


A vet aligned the sections of broken bone into place with a rod (Thunderbird Wildlife Rescue/Facebook)


The injured eagle is eating and alert, which are good signs, says Jenn Salo, who is caring for it at her home in Thunder Bay, Ont., but it needs to be kept in a small space so it doesn't further injure its wing. (Amy Hadley/CBC)
