A bald eagle named Lincoln is recovering from a broken wing thanks to a team effort in Sanilac County. Several drivers stopped on Ruth Road near French Line Road on October 24th, to protect the eagle after it was hit by a vehicle. Trooper Hailey Tuohey of the Michigan State Police drove Lincoln to Back 2, the Wild Rehabilitation Center staff, after Sanilac County Animal Control arranged his care. The rescue comes as Michigan’s eagles thrive, with about 900 breeding pairs compared to 83 in 1980.
