Eagle draws crowd on Seattle sidewalk

SEATTLE, March 27 (UPI) -- Wildlife officials in Washington state said an American bald eagle that appeared malnourished was found standing on a Seattle sidewalk.

The eagle, which drew a crowd of onlookers, was on the sidewalk for at least an hour before it was retrieved by the Washington State Fish and Wildlife department, The Seattle Times reported Thursday.

Bruce Richards, a game warden with the department, said the 4-year-old bird appeared to be undernourished. He said the eagle was taken to a bird specialist Wednesday to start rehabilitation.
