Since Mosely was all the way out at Talbot Island she called one of her volunteers to come and pick up the bird to take it to the hospital.
Her volunteer, Richard Moran, rushed the eagle to Hidden Hills Animal Hospital, where Dr. Davis worked on the eagle.
After being at the emergency room the bird was taken to B.E.A.K.S., where it is now recovering. B.E.A.K.S. is currently giving the eagle antibiotics and fluids.
The eagle is in critical condition with a broken wing.
