A regal symbol of strength. Of our American democracy. Kathy Siftar, who has been treating injured animals for 11 years, has never felt anything like it. I was in love. But the Siftar's can't keep the eagle.
Federal law says so.
And a flightless bird, no matter how majestic, has few friends. Scores of eagles are destroyed each year because there's no place for them. But this one has a new lease on life, as one big bird gives a lift to another. Fresh out of Tulsa's American Airlines maintenance center, this jet is being diverted to carry the eagle to its new home. Just Cathy and Gary aboard, along with an American flight crew.
