We were able to respond with him  and locate the eagle which appeared to be breathing, but seriously  injured. Critter Getters was called to respond and we assisted in  transporting the eagle through the woods and to awaiting transport. The  eagle was brought to the Raptor Center for care. I just received word  that they will be able to rehabilitate the eagle and it will make a full  recovery. To us this is important, as we wear the symbol of the eagles  wings on all our badges which stand for freedom and justice and the  readiness to defend it for all.<\/em><\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The update on the eagle just in from the Raptor Center &#8212; they have an &#8220;eagle report&#8221; call in line for status of birds in their care:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Hi Carol<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The eagle we received from the Belle Plaine area was diagnosed with lead toxicity &#8211; blood lead levels were\u00c2\u00a0 very high (over 3ppm) and he was showing signs typically associated with lead poisoning, including respiratory distress and vocalizations.
