Charlie Rohawk with the Eyes of Texas Wildlife Rescue in Bryan says the male bird was found in a pasture near Lake Livingston. Rohawk tended the wound, then took the bird to A&M.
She says ammunition fragments from the eagle were sent to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Houston, in an effort to locate the shooter.
Bald eagles are no longer listed as endangered, but they are protected and fines up to $250,000 apply for killing the majestic birds, which are the nation's official symbol.
