Bald Eagle #16-2217

On October 2, animal control officers in Portsmouth, Virginia answered a call about two adult Bald Eagles down on the ground with their talons locked together. The two eagles were likely engaged in a territorial dispute. A Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries officer responded to the situation; when the officer approached the two eagles, one of the birds flew away. The remaining injured bird was captured and transported to Nature’s Nanny Wildlife Rehabilitation, where the eagle was stabilized before being transferred to the Wildlife Center.
