In front of a rain-soaked crowd of more than 50 people, the bald eagle with mysterious injuries that baffled veterinarians flew free into the clouds of a Nebraska sky.
"Bolt," as the bird has been nicknamed, first came to the Fontenelle Forest Raptor Recovery as a mystery case with an injury that left him looking scalped; a veterinarian there diagnosed the eagle's injury as an electrical burn.
