Description: Wildlife conservation experts came to the rescue of a bald eagle that they thought was injured. They later realized the bird was healthy, and it was just too fat to fly. The eagle was found at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield in Missouri. An X-ray showed parts of what appeared to be a raccoon's paw inside the eagle, an indication it might have feasted on raccoon roadkill.
