This poor bald eagle is so lucky to be having her injuries treated by very caring people; unfortunately, there are probably numerous birds and other wildlife who were not rescued. Thank you for posting this news, Alison.
It is very emotional to see an innocent eagle in such pain. :'( I’ve been wondering how this eagle is doing and found a brief update which sounds hopeful, though there is still concern for her eyes.
The following update was posted on September 10 from Wildlife,Inc. Education & Rehabilitation Center, by Devon:
Her eyes have opened up more and her head looks a lot better. She has a lot more strength than when she came in and its almost to strong to hold onto her while she's being treated. Mainly its her eyes we're concerned about.

:'( Although it is so painful to watch this video, sometimes we forget how the force of nature effects our wildlife. So happy to hear they expect a full recovery. Thanks for sharing, Alison.

The Peregrine Chick:
Collision with bald eagle caused plane to crash outside Alaska, killing 4 people on board
National Post / Mark Thiessen (AP) / 4 May 2016
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A small airplane hit a bald eagle before it crashed just north of Anchorage, Alaska, last month, killing all four people on board.
An investigator says it’s the nation’s first civilian plane crash to result in deaths after an impact with a bald eagle.
Shaun Williams with the National Transportation Safety Board says there have been other crashes involving eagle strikes that resulted in serious injuries, not deaths.
The pilot, co-pilot and two passengers died when the plane went down April 20 near a small airport about 20 miles north of Anchorage.
Williams says an unknown substance was later found on the aircraft. Analysis at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., determined some of it was feathers and other materials that came from an immature bald eagle.
