Eagle found near Lake San Antonio recovering in Morro Bay

UPDATE 7/19/2019 11:00 a.m. The Monterey County Park Rangers Association issued an update about an eagle found injured near Lake San Antonio earlier in the week.

The association said it originally thought it was a bald eagle, but it is a golden eagle. It has a fractured ulna, but Pacific Wildlife Care in Morro Bay will let it heal on its own in the recovery facility instead of performing surgery.

The rangers said the eagle is eating and doing well besides the fracture.
