BISMARCK (AP) — A bald eagle discovered in September with a broken wing has recovered and is ready for release.

Weather permitting, the eagle is to be released Thursday in the South Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the fifth release of an eagle in the park this year.

The Bismarck Tribune reported that the bird had been found near Finley and recovered at the Dakota Zoo in Bismarck.

The other rehabbed and freed eagles, three golden eagles and one bald eagle, also were rehabilitated at the Dakota Zoo.
