I picked it up from a vet and it had a fractured wing. I remember when I asked at the front desk about picking it up the vet was walking by the door and was like "Oh, your here for the ANGRY bird!". I do remember this bird was able to be re-habilitated and released.

The Bald Eagle didn't make it unfortunately, badly broken wing and really dehydrated.

I don't remember about the Osprey but the fourth bird was a large owl, not a great horned though. That bird was also re-habilitated and released.
