A fish eagle probably miscalculated and ended up falling and drowning. It's exhausted. Its feathers are not as waterproof as those of a duck, and they become so wet that they prevent it from flying. The couple saved it with a buoy.

Osprey are beautiful, majestic birds, and thank you all for taking the time and effort to transport it to land, where it could rest and dry off. You've done a good deed for the bird and for the planet.

Thank you for rescuing 🥰 I thought putting eagle in the boat and drove to the shore was more easier . Dry her with Towel, give something to eat .

Wild animals just know who loves and care for them once you show kindness they never forget you

It’s amazing how All Animals ♥️ know when they are being helped because they All have feelings 💔

I heard that you called the wildlife people and no body helped you. I always have the same problem!! I live in Florida where we need these people!! I’ve tried different numbers!!! I’ve come across this problem before!! Unreal!!!!

When that happens if you can get him back to dry land and someplace where they can dry their wings if the wings aren't broken they're fine

Should’ve gotten it out of water immediately and put on their boat

Wish we could see the end!!! Did the bird make it on the land?

Covering the heads of birds (like snakes) makes them easy to handle. Putting the towel over its head helps. For any future accidental rescuers

Thank you for being good humans!

Thank you kind folks for saving this beautiful fish eagle about to tire from the struggle and drown…!!! It breaks my heart to see birds/animals in the wild miscalculate. You are doing God’s work! THANK YOU!!!❤️❤️❤️

Müde Übersetzung. Er lebt ja, Gottseidank.

Was he just left on land? Will he be ok? I cannot believe no one came out to help this bird. Thank you for Helping and saving it!

Bravo !!!

He didn’t drown though did he? 🤔

Local vets

Good Job Everyone. This Eagle Needed Your Help. ❤️💋❤️

“Be careful, don’t get too close to it”. 🤣

Thank you!

God bless this family ❤️

I heard “just drive the boat,Dad!”

🕊️❤️

Wow!

Not an eagle. It’s an Osprey. If you wanted to pick it up you’d have to turn him around so he can’t see you. Fold the wings and wrap in a towel. Obviously water logged. Best fishing bird. They come back to nest every year. Their talons and beak are razor sharp! Great save!

SO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT??
