"JACKSON, Wyo. – Meghan Warren grabbed the bald eagle’s legs with thick leather gloves to secure its powerful talons. With her other hand, she pinned the bird’s wings before they could unfold to a six-foot span.
As Warren slowly removed the ailing eagle from an oxygen chamber at the animal hospital, the bird suddenly awakened from a stupor. He snapped his yellow hooked beak, puncturing her right cheek. Blood trickled down her face.
“Oh my God!” shouted a veterinary technician, who jumped back."
