By Dana Hedgpeth Dana Hedgpeth Reporter covering local breaking news Email Bio Follow March 14 at 2:42 PM An injured bald eagle found Wednesday evening on Metrorail tracks in Maryland had to be euthanized, experts said.
After the exam and X-rays, the “opinion of the experts is unanimous and sad,” he said. “Humane euthanasia is the only responsible option.” The injured bald eagle was found Wednesday.The bird’s right wing suffered multiple fractures, and it couldn’t be saved. On Thursday morning, officials were hopeful the bird’s injuries could be treated, but the exam showed they were too severe. It’s not known how the eagle became injured.Dan Rauch, the city’s wildlife biologist, said the eagle could have collided with something and landed near the tracks, hit a wire or suffered some other mishap. He said the bird wasn’t injured by a train.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen tweeted, “if this is a metaphor for our country, @WMATA saving this injured bald eagle, our national bird, should be a good sign for the future. Thanks to @MarylandDNR’s team and all those who came to the rescue!”

Well, crap.
This is clearly a metaphor for the 12 FakeRepublicans who betrayed our POTUS by believing that Congress has the power of the purse as expressed in the Constitution!

The Metro literally kills freedom
A metaphor for America

So sad. 🥺🥺🥺
Very sad. And...What a metaphor! Our democracy can sustain only so many wounds before it, too, will be incapable of functioning.
I would have adopted her!
Why does this feel like a sad metaphor for America right now?
😢
Then it wasn't rescued. It was retrieved.
NY has been killing America and its symbols of freedom for decades! Anti-second amendment. Pro late term if we have a symbol of Sodom and Gomera in America it's NY! I have a cure suggestion.
😢💔
Truly breaks my heart, however I am comforted that in this egotistical area, people actually cared about our beloved Eagles🌹
