First responders in southern Erie County recently brought in an injured adult bald eagle that was found 50 feet up a tree. A New York State DEC officer responded to Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff in Derby on July 25th and discovered the eagle barely able to lift its head and with wings spread and drooping over branches. Firefighters from three departments also arrived and assisted in removing the eagle from the tree. The eagle was secured and brought down by using an Angola ladder truck. A wildlife rehabilitator from Messenger Woods immediately took possession of the eagle for further treatment.
