SANIBEL, Fla. -- A positive update in the recovery of an injured eaglet; one of Harriet's babies continues its road to recovery.
Doctors at the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) animal hospital on Sanibel say Eaglet 8 is bright and alert and continues to show signs of improvement.

E8 hatched last month in the nest of the popular Southwest Florida Eagle Cam, inhabited by Harriet and her new mate M15. Big brother E7, one day older than E8, remains in the nest.
