The center's director says that the eagle had an old eye injury and that it had also been hit by the sideview mirror of a truck.
After caring for Liberty for almost a week, the Sweetbriar Nature Center found that the eagle was ready to hunt and eat on its own.
The eagle has been tagged by the Department of Environmental Conservation so its migration pattern and lifespan could be followed.
