Majestic - even though he's hurt & dirty

While Kayaking on 5/11, Gus spotted an injured Bald Eagle. An officer from the Dept. of Interior - US Fish & Wildlife Service made the hour-long trip from Fredericksburg to our home, they took the canoe out to retrieve the Eagle, and were successful! He probably has a broken wing and hopefully nothing else wrong, and will be taken to a rehab center. With luck and good care he will recover and be released back here, home. UPDATE: the wing was broken and inoperable so the Eagle will spend the remainder of his days in captivity - but healthy - and will be viewed by many in a park educational program.
