PASADENA, Md. — A juvenile bald eagle is recovering after Maryland Natural Resources Police officers were called to Gibson Island on Saturday, Aug. 16, for a report of an injured raptor.
Authorities said the bird struck a window and was unable to fly. Officer Michael Brown responded to the scene, using protective gloves and a capture net to secure the eagle before carrying it to safety.
The bird was transported to the Owl Moon Raptor Center in Montgomery County, a facility that specializes in treating injured birds of prey.
Wildlife officials said the eagle will undergo rehabilitation and, if its injuries heal properly, could be released back into the wild.
