The term "eagle eye" was put to the test last week in Omaha, Nebraska, as a bald eagle had to undergo an eye exam. The full grown female eagle was found near the Missouri River on April first and was taken to "Raptor Recovery Nebraska" with no visible injuries, but the people taking care of her noticed that she couldn’t see her food. The exam found that she has lesions on her eyes. For now, she has to be hand fed. Hopefully the eagle will heal and be returned to the wild.
