On April 25, 2018, Lynn Lake RCMP received a report from a local resident that they had rescued an injured eagle from the slush on the lake and it was now inside their van.
Officers attended the scene with a dog kennel and, with the use of snowmobile mitts, were able to transfer the eagle from the van to the kennel without further injuring it or the officers.
Police say that the injuries suffered by the eagle are unknown at this time.
Arrangements have been made for the eagle, now referred to as “Slushie” by the locals, to be transported to the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Center in Ile des Chenes for examination.
