The first eagle was found in the snow, its wings spread far and wide, feathers scattered about its body.
Jennifer Merritt and her boyfriend T.O. Farwell saw the bird, just off the side of the road, while they were driving from Heppner to Pendleton last week. “He was shot pretty bad,” Merritt said.
Farwell scooped up the broken raptor into the car and took it to Lynn Tompkins at the Blue Mountain Wildlife rehabilitation center in Pendleton.
