Drivers See Eagle Oddly In Road, Shocked At What’s Hidden Under Its Wing
By Dreamer
Traffic suddenly came to a halt when Florida motorists, trying to get to work, were stopped by America’s majestic symbol of freedom in the middle of the road. When the Bald Eagle refused to move, concerned people, who had no way to get past her, called the police, who were shocked at what they discovered under the animal’s wing.
In an unlikely occurrence, drivers had an up-close encounter with this national symbol on Wednesday, which took an odd turn when the bird wouldn’t move for the cars coming at her. As traffic began to back up, help for the situation arrived to handle this precious animal with the care it requires. That’s when officers discovered the disheartening reason the bird was there, and it was because of what an unpatriotic person had done.

According to CBS, upon closer investigation of the eagle, they discovered that the bird’s wing was badly injured, caused by blunt force trauma after she had been hit by a car. The driver responsible for running her over had immediately fled the scene like only a coward would do, leaving the injured bird there to deal with the ramifications. Even with a broken bone under her wing, the brave bird stood with unwavering strength on her two feet, waiting for rescue rather than simply falling down and accepting her demise.

Wildlife workers arrived after officers surrounded the bird to protect her, even though it meant delaying traffic for a substantial period of time. “She’s very lucky,” said Kris Porter, a licensed rehabber involved in the rescue, who added that the bird will fly again after some rehabilitation, despite her injuries.
Having been trampled on and then abandoned, this bird rose again to victory, poetically serving as a reminder of patriotism as it stood strong against all forces meant to destroy and deter her. What the Bald Eagle rebounded from is representative of the American spirit within each of us, that seems to have been replaced with divisiveness and hate in this time of turmoil.
