As she got closer, she realized it was a fairly large bald eagle.
Police say Kiedaisch stopped to help the injured bird, waived other cars around the eagle, and called animal control.
It had a broken wing, but will be ok.
So, just how common is it to see a bald eagle?
We do know they have been taken off the endangered species list.
