The eagle was in poor condition yesterday. X-rays revealed that the snow-storm battered eagle had 3 buckshot pellets lodged in her leg, tail, and chest, and the clinic is still waiting for the results of lead-poisoning blood work. This is the first bald eagle brought to the clinic in 20 years. Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:29:50 +0000 Jehane Samaha 10440 at http://ripr.org
