Statement on Eaglet from Radnor Lake State Park

Park rangers at Radnor Lake State Park on Thursday rescued an eaglet after observing it to be injured. Rangers transported it to an eagle rehabilitation center in East Tennessee under the care of a veterinarian who specializes in treating injured American bald eagles. The park manager consulted with officials from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) on the rescue and treatment plans. It is unknown how the eaglet was injured. This is the same eaglet that took its first flight earlier this month. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation will provide further updates when available.
