Badly injured bald eagle recovering in the care of Austin Wildlife Rescue

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A bald eagle is on the road to recovery after it was found in bad shape in a field near Smithville, Texas.

Austin Wildlife Rescue (AWR) took the bald eagle under its wing on Dec. 15 after Texas Parks and Wildlife delivered the bird to its facility. When it arrived, the rescue said it had a fractured wing and a large open wound.

AWR Executive Director Jules Maron suspects it was attacked by another bald eagle based on the injuries.
