2 new eaglets were born about 2 weeks ago in Florida. All was well until yesterday when it looked like one of the babies caught their leg on something in the nest and was stuck.
As it is a wild nest, the wildlife people were contacted to evaluate the situation. They have concluded the baby's leg is not stuck but entangled in fishing line bought into the nest via food or by accident. The leg is very swollen and they cannot tell whether the babies attempts to free itself tightened the line or if the leg is broken.
They decided to get a bucket truck and attempt an in nest evaluation. The baby was removed from the nest and taken to the wildlife center for further care.
Waiting for the official word on the babys health is nerve wracking for me. One has to wonder how the parents are dealing with this.
