Bald Eagle Appears to Be Sleeping After Emergency Treatment — Veterinarians Notice an Unusual Eye Response That Raises New Concerns At first glance, the bald eagle seemed to be sleeping. Its white head rested against a rolled blue towel, its dark wings lay close to its body, and almost nothing moved beneath the soft bedding arranged around it. In the quiet recovery enclosure, the scene looked peaceful enough to suggest that a frightening emergency had finally passed. But the veterinary team was not prepared to interpret stillness as recovery. The adult eagle had arrived seriously debilitated and required urgent assessment.
