"He was really calm." Cautiously and hesitantly, they wrapped the eagle in a towel. For added support they put a life jacket around him, Lindberg said. Getting the eagle back to safety required rappelling down a 20-foot rock face. "I rappelled down first, and then the eagle was lowered down to me," Lindberg said. After receiving the eagle, Lindberg and company decided to see if the eagle could manage to fly on its own. They released him in a more open area, close to where the hike had began. They noticed that the eagle, affectionately named "Cliff in reference to the incident, had an injured left wing that prevented him from flying away. "The hike wasn't important anymore," said the lieutenant. "None of us would have felt good leaving it behind." The crew decided to get Cliff back to the boat and take care of him until he could be turned over to the Arizona Fish and Game Department for rehabilitation. While on the boat Cliff behaved in a very docile manner, allowing others to pet him and even perch on their arms. Although Lindberg and others tried to feed Cliff, he refused but drank a considerable amount of water. In the room he was kept on the houseboat, Cliff had a demanding presence according to Lindberg. Cliff stood in a relaxed state approximately 20 inches tall and between 16 to 25 pounds, not bad for a 3-year-old eagle. "When anyone enjtered^tfie , room with Cliff, they became j Friday, Jan. 2, the Warrior Frtness Center will be on \a shortened schedule with holiday, hours and Westside Frtness Center will be closed.

We did it all; there wasn't any drug that I was eligible for that I didn't take. But I have to say, with Tricare, we haven't paid a dime.

As the group transported Cliff back to Antelope Island Marina, they grew fond of him and respected him even more, said Lindberg. In just one day, the eagle had a tremendous impact on a small group of people. Upon arrival at their destination, Lindberg handed Cliff over to an Arizona game officer who informed him that Cliff's condition was likely to heal and the eagle would be returned to the wild.
