A bald eagle rescued by Andrew Johnson, owner of Willowbank Farm, taking an evening cruise along Starr’s Point beach March 10 has been returned to the wild after receiving some TLC at a wildlife rehabilitation centre.
The Johnson family gathered at Willowbank to watch as the eagle, aptly named Willow, spread its wings and soared high above their farm.
It was a moment Andrew Johnson had been looking forward to since he found the grounded eagle hopping along the nearby beach.
Johnson managed to catch the eagle, wrap it in protective gear he uses for snowmobiling, place it in between his legs on the snowmobile seat and rush it back to his family farm.
