Earlier this morning, just before 11 a.m., Volusia County Animal Services officers responded to a report of an injured bald eagle on Spring Garden Ranch Road in DeLeon Springs. The bird, found on the side of the road, was unable to fly and suffering from notable injuries to its right wing and mouth.

The Animal Services team secured and carefully transported the distressed eagle from the roadway, ensuring it received immediate attention to prevent further injury. Through collaborative efforts, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission contacted the Maitland Bird Center, which arrived on the scene to transport the bird to their facility for further care.

Volusia County urges residents to promptly report any wildlife injuries to the appropriate authorities, helping to ensure the safety and well-being of both the community and its wildlife.
