Eagle to get second chance with 'bionic beak'

ST. MARIES, Idaho (AP) -- She has been named Beauty, though this eagle is anything but.

Part of Beauty's beak was shot off several years ago, leaving her with a stump that is useless for hunting food.

A team of volunteers is working to attach an artificial beak to the disfigured bird, in an effort to keep her alive.

"For Beauty, it's like using only one chopstick to eat. It can't be done," said biologist Jane Fink Cantwell, who operates a raptor recovery center in this Idaho Panhandle town.
