Our news partners,KWCH-TV reports, the female bird was taken in late Sunday at the Eagle Valley Raptor Center in Cheney. Program director Ken Lockwood said the wounded eagle was found by quail hunters near the small town of Latham, about 40 miles southeast of Wichita.
Lockwood says the bird was missing several feathers from its left wing. An X-ray revealed metal fragments in its thigh. Staff at the raptor center are hopeful the eagle will recover.
