The Tamaqua Area Animal Rescue reported that the eagle found Tuesday in South Tamaqua has died.

The rescue agency posted on its Facebook page, " She was worse this morning and she was euthanized."

The bird was in critical condition at the Carbon County Environmental Education Center.

Found on Route 443, near Leiby's, the eagle was taken to the Carbon County Environmental Education Center in Summit Hill by the Tamaqua Animal Rescue.

Jeannie Carl from the CCEEC said that the bird "showed some fight" when given fluids and supportive care at the center before being taken to Dr. Kathryn Kropp at Companion Animal Hospital in Tamaqua.

The Tamaqua Animal Rescue posted that the center received a call from West Penn police and picked up the injured bald eagle near Archery Club Road.

The eagle was reported to be "severely underweight and her legs don't seem to be responding," the rescue posted.

"So it is possible that she was too weak to fly and that is why she landed in the road."
