BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A bald eagle is recovering after getting stuck in a tree and suffering a broken leg in what one official is calling an "usual" incident.
The Department of Natural Resources came to the bird's rescue after a man spotted the bald eagle in a tree in his backyard in Rising Sun, Maryland, where it was caught between two branches.
Matt Adams with DNR said the manor in which the bird was trapped was a "fairly unusual" incident. The bird was not nesting in the tree and it was believed to be feeding in the area.
The bird was taken to a rehabilitation center where it was evaluated and had X-rays taken.
