Bob got a call from the police that an eagle was down on Trout Run Road. He headed over immediately. The eagle was in the road and people were directing traffic around it. He went to pick it up and it scrambled into the woods, giving Bob quite a chase, although he finally caught it. He was concerned that the eagle ran instead of flying to escape, so he is holding it overnight in his mews for observation.

A photo of the eaglet in Bob's mews. We're still debating just which eaglet this is - we haven't seen them in a couple of days and of course they've had a bit of a rough time, given the weather. Bob will feed the eaglet and keep it overnight for assessment. We are hoping to get better close-ups to ID without stressing the eagle further.
