No longer contagious, the eaglet that underwent surgery last weekend has been moved outside – albeit to an enclosed space.

A baby bald eagle is recuperating after a two-hour surgery Saturday morning to remove remnants of a golf ball-sized growth and fix its criss-crossed beak.

The lesion on an internationally known eaglet has fallen off, but the bird will still undergo surgery Saturday, according to officials at the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro.

A virus, not cancer, is causing the rapidly growing mass on the beak of 33-day-old eaglet receiving treatment at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, veterinarians said Thursday.

Thousands of admirers around the world are anxiously awaiting the results of one media darling patient’s specially-scheduled MRI scan, administered Saturday afternoon at Augusta Medical Center.
