Grandmother, a Golden Eagle, was hit by a car. The accident caused a severe wing injury which was set, but her wing never healed properly. Because of the injury, Grandmother cannot fly.

Golden Eagles are found in mountaIn canyons, buttes, rim rock, and grasslands. They can also be found in tundra, bush lands and coniferous forests.
