ANTIGO (WAOW) - A bald eagle shot in the wing in Marathon County is now healing in Antigo.

?

Wildlife officials say the eagle lost something important but is also gaining something in the process.

?

About three weeks ago Marge Gibson of the Raptor Education Group in Antigo got a call about an injured bald eagle.

?

"People found her in a field in Stratford and the bird was very quiet and stayed in a certain area," said Marge Gibson, Executive Director of the Raptor Education Group.

?

Gibson says the female eagle was shot in the wing while flying. She fell a long way suffering serious injuries.

?"Look at that face isn't that amazing," said Gibson.
