Bald eagle becomes living hood ornament [1]

['David Pescovitz']

Date: 2024-03-14

Calvert County, Maryland sheriffs and animal control officers responded after a bald eagle became a living car hood ornament. Apparently the eagle collided with a car and got its tail stuck in the automobile's grille.

"When the driver stopped, they realized that the eagle was still alive, but trapped in the vehicle's [grille]," the Calvert County Government reported on Facebook.

Fortunately, they were able to carefully remove the raptor and it wasn't seriously injured.

"After a thorough examination, all were relieved to find the bird seemed to be in good health and was quickly released back into the wild," they reported.
