Wearing designer buckskins and 4-inch heels, Dolly Parton was dressed for a show but she knew she wasn’t going to be the main attraction.
Instead, a 14-week-old eagle (not shown in the picture) that was blown from its nest several weeks ago in Florida captivated its audience. Last Thursday, it was returned to the wild by the American Eagle Foundation, which is based at the 62-year-old singer’s Dollywood theme park, Dollywood.
Some 90 eagles have been released from the same spot since the 1990s but this was the first time their country music benefactor had seen it in person.
Before she helped open the cage and watched the bird soar away, Parton named it “Liberty.”
“I thought that sounded better than Baldy,” she said.
