You just never know about them public sector

He Fell From The Sky: Rescuers Come to Aid of Bald Eagle Injured on Route 40 in Edgewood / March 6, 2011

From Randy and Michele Fletcher of Aberdeen:

It all started on the morning of February 12, 2011. I was headed for work when my husband, Randy, called me. He proceeded to tell me that he was standing on Rt. 40 in Edgewood, Maryland staring at a bald eagle in the roadway, and was directing traffic around the eagle that was in the fast lane. You’re kidding me. right? (Randy and I have a strong love and respect for bald eagles). I immediately headed to where Randy and the eagle were. I just had to see this! When I came upon Randy and the eagle, I thought I was going to see this eagle standing in the roadway, somewhat stunned, trying to gather his sorts and figure out what had just happened and then he would fly off. That would not be case. This poor eagle was sprawled out on Rt. 40, head slightly raised and eyes moving, nothing else. Oh, how sad. Is this eagle really alive? Is it going to survive? were questions both Randy and I kept asking ourselves… *snip*

When all is said and done there are more good people in this world than bad. Sometimes we need more reminders of that.

1. Great story!
I'm glad the eagle will be okay. I didn't know they would fight like that.
