SUNRIVER, Ore. (AP) — An injured eagle named Patriot is expected to continue recovering at the Sunriver Nature Center, thanks to a $1,000 donation from a 9-year-old girl.
Patriot was unable to fly or stand when it was found in June near Crane Prairie Reservoir.
KTVZ reports (http://bit.ly/pVSdv1 ) the bird is back on his feet.
The 9-year-old girl who hopes to be a veterinarian one day, Kira Neilsen, set up donation jars in Bend and elsewhere and raised the money she delivered Tuesday to help pay for medications and vet bills.
Patriot will soon be moved to another facility for more rehab.
