One thing is for sure about an eagle that's missing in Forsyth County: It didn't fly away on its own.   WGCL-TV (http://bit.ly/RBj2VN ) reports that officials are looking for a copper sculpture of an eagle that's been reported missing from a park near Cumming.

The statue is 6 feet tall and has a wingspan of 8 feet, so it would have taken some effort to move it.  The sculpture was at a trailhead of the Big Creek Greenway. Forsyth County's parks director, Jerry Kinsey, says officials hope someone will return the eagle.

Kinsey says this marks the first time something like this has happened at a county park in Forsyth.
