ANTIGO -- An American Bald Eagle is being cared for in Antigo after it was hit by a car!
According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, it happened Tuesday, January 24th in Wautoma.
A concerned individual called the DNR to report the eagle had been hit. A warden responded and helped coordinate immediate care.
The eagle was then taken by volunteers to the "Raptor Education Group Inc." in Antigo -- a first-class raptor rehabilitation program.
According to the DNR, the facility's director said the eagle's prognosis is uncertain because of possible internal injuries, but its broken wing can heal.
They've created a "wing wrap" to help with healing -- and rehabilitators are hopeful for a complete recovery.
