EAGLE RESCUE

Logan Lake Mountie rescues injured bald eagle

Jul 11, 2019 | 8:59 AM

LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — A bald eagle is recovering at the BC Wildlife Park after being rescued by an RCMP officer in Logan Lake.

In a news release, Logan Lake RCMP say when you sign on with the Mounties you never know what lies ahead in your shift — and there’s no call too small for an officer.

On June 30, Logan Lake RCMP responded to a report of an injured bald eagle on the side of the road near Mammette Lake Road and Foley Road.

When Const. Dell arrived he found the injured eagle appeared to be unable or unwilling to leave the area.

Dell borrowed a dog crate from a cell guard and with help from another officer he was able to capture the bird.

The eagle was taken to cells overnight and moved to the BC Wildlife Park where it remains.

“As a Mountie, you wear many hats, some days you are a career counsellor or a conflict mediator, other days a traffic enforcer or a homicide investigator, some days you are an animal wrangler. Whatever the call, we take them all!” Dell said in a news release.
