May 1 (UPI) -- A 2-week-old baby bald eagle is back in a Pennsylvania nest with its family after undergoing surgery to remove a fish hook from its stomach.
The West Virginia-based Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia said viewers watching livestream video of the nest below the U.S. Steel Irvin Plant in West Mifflin noticed the eaglet ingesting a fish hook that was in a trout fed to it by its parents on April 18.
Tamarack Wildlife Center in Crawford County, educational partner for the U.S. Steel and Glen Hazel bald eagle webcams, set about organizing a rescue plan for the baby bird.
