MEMPHIS (AP) — Wildlife authorities are offering a reward for information leading them to the person who shot a bald eagle that was found this week in Hardeman County.

Bubba Spencer, a conservation officer who works for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, told The Commercial Appeal that the eagle was found along Highway 125 near Silerton on Monday and taken to a veterinarian in Memphis with a broken wing.

The eagle will undergo surgery and has a good chance of survival but will not be released back into the wild.
