Injured bald eagle found in Southeast Washington

By Martin Weil July 2 at 12:45 AM

An injured bald eagle was found Saturday afternoon in Southeast Washington, authorities said.

The eagle was unable to fly when found by officers of the Humane Rescue Alliance, said Dani Rizzo, an official of the organization. Rizzo said it appeared lethargic, and its breathing was labored.

It was found about 4:45 p.m. near Eighth and Xenia streets, Rizzo said. The cause of the eagle’s condition could not be learned immediately.

The eagle was taken to City Wildlife to be assessed and receive care, Rizzo said.

Happy endings for two bald eagles

By Martin Weil and Rachel Chason July 16 at 9:54 PM

Good news about bald eagles is in the air. An eagle that was reported missing from its nest near the District’s police academy has returned.

And an eagle that was found in distress near the academy, and was once thought to be the missing eagle, has thrived in the interim. It has been released, hopefully to soar as one more free-flying embodiment of the spirit of America.

The tale, featuring not one, but two of the majestic and fierce-looking creatures that exert a firm grasp on the popular imagination, begins in Southeast Washington on July 1.

That afternoon, an eagle was found on the ground, unable to fly, near Eighth and Xenia streets SE — about a mile and a half from the police academy, where two eagles, Liberty and Justice, had long been under video watch and thus become local celebrities.
