HOUSTON - Bald eagles are certainly majestic creatures, and one of them has found a new home in Houston after surviving a serious injury during Texas Winter Storm.
Mae was found by a game warden in Huxley, Texas during Winter Storm Uri in February, which paralyzed most of the state and claimed more than 100 lives. Zoo officials say she suffered an open wing fracture and was taken to Last Chance Forever, a wildlife rehabilitation center for birds of prey. There, Mae was treated with antibiotics for several days before she was taken to Angelina Animal Hospital in Lufkin.
