It was not your typical OPP call.

Mattawa OPP responded to an seriously injured bald eagle that was stuck in the Mattawa River.

The bird had made it to shore and an officer went down the embankment to rescue the bird.

Luckily there was an expert bird handler doing a presentation in North Bay, and the bald eagle has been sent to Guelph Veterinary Clinic to be cared for.
