It's a tradition at Auburn's Jordan-Hare Stadium for a live eagle to fly around the stadium prior to games. Auburn's seventh official War Eagle, Nova, clipped the goalpost while zooming around the field Saturday, but continued on with its flight and landed at midfield.

According to AL.com, Nova was checked by a veterinarian following the incident and is unharmed.
