Injured bald eagle discovered on Floresville ranch, game warden says

[douglas9]

A rancher in Floresville, about 20 miles southeast of San Antonio, found a bald eagle with an injured wing on his property Thursday, he and game warden officials told mySA.com.

Game wardens took the bald eagle, named "Mike," to Last Chance Forever, a bird of prey conservancy on San Antonio's North Side for treatment. His current status is unknown.

Jason Peeler, the co-owner of Peeler Ranch with his wife, Marianna, found the injured bird at about 4 p.m. on his property on FM 539. The eagle, which has visited his ranch almost every winter for the past five years, was walking along the side of a road with a broken wing.

1. Best of all good karma for Mike!

Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Peeler. AND Last Chance forever, AND San Antonio (I loved it while there).

2. Bald eagles are magnificent animals

There's a beautiful female that lives in a tree on the Delaware River near our mountain house and she's amazing to watch at feeding time. They are very large and fierce but beautiful.

I'm glad "Mike" is getting cared for.
