American Bald Eagle Flown Back From Ireland First Class
An exhausted bald eagle found on an Irish beach after crossing 3000 miles of the Atlantic flew home in first class aboard an Aer Lingus flight to New York. Irish Prime Minister Haughey handed the eagle to U.S. Embassy representative Al Rimas at Shannon Airport. Minister said the voyage signaled friendship as wildlife ranger Pat OConnell and Irish government official Danny Lynch accompanied the bird. It will go to Maryland for examination then be released. OConnell described the bird’s weight gain from 6 to 11 pounds since finding it on November 18, noting a seven foot wing span. He said strong winds likely aided the crossing.
