A golden eagle is flying free again after being injured. This video shows its first flight—on February 16, 2011—after a month of rehabilitation. Golden eagles migrate through the mountains of western Virginia and some winter here, but they are rarely seen. A biologist at the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, and researchers with West Virginia University and Virginia Tech are studying the migration patterns of the raptors.

The bird, a male eagle, is expected to head to Canada for the breeding season within the next few weeks.
