A Maine lobster boat crew has saved an eagle that it spotted struggling in the Atlantic Ocean. John Chipman, of Birch Harbor, said Monday that he came across the wet and weary raptor near Schoodic Island. He says it appeared to be relieved to see the boat and even tried to hop on board last Thursday. Chipman says two retired police officers who were with him brought the bird aboard after fashioning a makeshift raft from a life preserver, a piece of plywood and a rope. Chipman says the bird was missing an eye and appeared to be older. Photos show it resting on the back of the boat. Chipman intended to deliver the eagle to game wardens, but it had other ideas and eventually flew away.
I asked Carol on Friday night, no word on him yet! I know she inquired! This is a big deal to us! I'm sure he's fine and growing some tail feathers!! How long does that take?
Ok, now that is even sadder that she was a young girl, just learning to be on her own! Oh the instinct for these birds to take over a nest is CRAZY!!! And we thought humans were brutal!! Birds are no better!!
