A bald eagle was able to fly free again on Wednesday in Orange County, FL, thanks to her caring rescuers.
Florida State Attorney Pam Bondi was on site to help the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey release the bird back into the wild.
The bald eagle was able to successfully fly away in a heartwarming moment reminiscent of the rescued dolphin who returned to Australian waters after a tragedy and the sea turtle who was also able to go back into the water after suffering a serious illness.
A car hit the 10-pound bird on a highway several months ago. She suffered an injury on her shoulder. Had the eagle not been rescued, she probably wouldn't have survived.
"Our best days at the Center for Birds of Prey is to be able to release a bird back into the wild. It's always extra special to release a bald eagle," the organization's program manager, Katie Warner, told Click Orlando.
This is the 525th bald eagle the Florida rescue and rehabilitation center has saved since its inception in 1978.
“These birds are just amazing, and it is our obligation to protect them as Floridians,” said Bondi.
