Bald eagle rescued after developing huge 'ball of ice' on his tail
15 February 2019
A bald eagle was left unable to fly, after a huge ice ball grew on his tail while it was hunting in the blistering cold winds of Lake Michigan.
Luckily, an eagle sanctuary, Wings of Wonder was on hand to step in and defrost the bird back to health using warm water and plenty of care and patience.
Upon release, he is flying perfectly, preening and certainly enjoying fish dinners again.
