A bald eagle is recovering at the BC Wildfire Park after being rescued by an RCMP officer in Logan Lake late last month.

Police say they were responding to a report of an injured bald eagle on the side of the road near Mammette Lake Road and Foley Road on June 30.

When Const. Ryan Dell arrived, police say he found the injured eagle that appeared to be unable or unwilling to leave the area.

Dell borrowed a dog crate and with help from another officer he was able to capture the bird.

The eagle was taken to cells overnight and moved to the BC Wildlife Park where it remains.

“As a Mountie, you wear many hats, some days you are a career counsellor or a conflict mediator, other days a traffic enforcer or a homicide investigator, some days you are an animal wrangler,” said Dell, in a news release.

“Whatever the call, we take them all!”
