TYNGSBOROUGH -- The time had arrived. A pair of 12-week-old bald eagle chicks, found forlorn a month earlier, were ready to return to the wild.
The first chick, uninjured despite his fall from a nest in May, swiftly took flight Wednesday, vanishing into the sky. But the second, which had suffered a broken pelvis after falling about 50 feet from the nest, proved more apprehensive.
