UPDATE If you are wondering when they will start to work on Loop 59. I reached out to TXDOT to get an answer. Prep right of way is underway on US 59 through Atlanta. The contractor's schedule shows work on the pavement is scheduled to begin in about two weeks

MIKE UPDATE:

Jennifer Beard with Tri-County Rehab in Mt. Pleasant gave us an update this morning:

"He seemed very strong, and he is not a juvenile eagle. He his a full-grown adult. Eagles don't get the white feathers on their heads until they are 5 years old," said Jennifer. "His wings are perfect, and his body condition was great! He was transferred to Blackland Prairie Raptor Center for full evaluation."

Mike Update!

TPWD Biologist Penny Wilkerson has transported the bald eagle to Tri-County Wildlife Rehab in Mt. Pleasant, where he will be assessed for transport to Blackland Prairie Raptor Center later this week.

"The eagle looked good when I got him to Mt. Pleasant. He was able to have full wing extension when we transferred him inside," Wilkerson said. "Sorry I was not able to get a video."
