Bald Eagle Rescued At Susquehanna State Park
The eagle is being rehabilitated after it was found on a rocky embankment at Susquehanna State Park, injured and stranded.
HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — A bald eagle was rescued from a rocky embankment at Susquehanna State Park Friday morning after it got stranded. Naturalist John Garrison, of Susquehanna State Park, said the park got several calls about an eagle trying to swim across the Susquehanna River around 9:30 a.m.
Garrison, who was taking a junior ranger group around the park, went to go help the eagle. He said it was clearly injured because it wasn’t spooked by Garrison’s arrival. He wrapped the eagle in a towel and took the eagle to Chadwell Animal Hospital where it was discovered the eagle was blind. The old eagle has cataracts and Garrison said it may have recently flown into something, making its vision worse.
