Metaphor for the country. And a guide for its torchbearers.

Beautiful All the way around No surprise its First Nations that will rehab this beautiful eagle Nobody knows Mother Nature better than the First Nations of North America 💙💙💙💙

This brought tears to my eyes. Such amazing people!❤️❤️❤️
-
I take this as a sign; we might be stuck, we might be injured, but together we can save our country and it will fly again.
-
That looks so painful. 😓 Thank you to the kind people helping wildlife.

THIS WHAT HUMANS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. EVEN AN EAGLE SOMETIMES NEEDS HELP. SO HAPPY HE WILL SOON BE SOARING AGAIN.

Spot on. You beat me by 30 seconds! 🇺🇸

Heroes come in all shapes and forms. This eagle was so lucky, two angles came to his rescue🤗

You can tell the age of young bald eagles by the color of their head feathers. Fledgling bald eagles are almost completely black/dark brown. As they get older their feathers start to turn white. By the age of 5 their heads become completely white. This eagle looks like its about 4 years old.

If he can't fly again, Dollywood has a branch of the American Eagle Foundation. Although there's probably one closer.

Holy shit, buddy!! How on earth did you do *that??*
-
Awesome. I live about 10 minutes from the SE Raptor Rehab Center at Auburn University. Many stories similar to this happening all the time. Heroes, all of you.

So glad this majestic bird will hopefully pull through. 🤞🤞🤞

That is fucking crazy. Like that is a huge bad ass fucking bird and it is SO helpless when they find it. Like, damn. I think it's entertaining when there are temporarily embarrassed apex predators like that otherwise are these paragons of competency but not like that: like. . . Damn.

I'll bet you are saying "Fly Eagle, Fly."

Makes me cry. So extremely grateful that others are caring for nature too while so many are destroying it! 💚💚💚💚💚

If you were rooting for the eagle to be saved, then you understand veganism
-
This made me cry. A huge thank you to those amazing Samaritans for this stuck eagle. I hope the eagle heals, and can fly high again. 🦅🙏💕
-
He looks sort of small. A recent fledgling that made a severe error in judgement, maybe? is there an update?
-
He must've swooped down on his prey not paying attention to the forked trees. I hope the eagle recovers.
-
A thousand blessings to you & yours. 🙏 You make humanity proud.

Appears to be a young eagle. Odds are it was fixated on a prey animal and tried flying through the fork of the tree. Eagle wings aren't built for tight spaces like forests; they're predominantly fish eaters that hunt over water. Wings in forest species are shorter and wider for maneuverability.

No good deed goes unnoticed Good job guys and ladies and vet😊😊😊😊💝
