A bald eaglet that had been rescued in Sanibel Island Florida was released by Dolly Parton and introduced back into the wild. The nestling had fallen and was rescued by the American Eagle Foundation, which is headquartered at Dollywood.

Dolly, with the assistance of Al Cecere, the AEF's founder and Gloria Askridge, the Associate Director of Sales and Marketing of the US Mint opened the door to the eagle's cage last Thursday morning."Dollywood and the American Eagle Foundation have an incredible partnership," Dolly said before releasing the majestic raptor. "It's a real blessing to be able to assist the foundation in its work to rescue these breathtaking birds."

I wish I had permission to post the image here, as it's a beautiful bird but you can see a picture of Dolly and company before its release at Ecorazzi.
