WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) — Two bald eagles that have been nursed back to health by the Wildlife Center of Virginia are returning to the wild.

The Waynesboro center says the eagle releases are planned for Wednesday and Thursday. The first will occur at Mason Neck in Fairfax County. This bird was found on the ground in Washington near Bolling Air Force Base in May. The thin and dehydrated eagle was treated by rehabilitation staff and is now deemed ready to fend for itself.
