Florida Kids Find Bald Eagle Trapped in Fishing Line, Hook Through Its Beak, Rush to Its Rescue
A pair of children were quick to come to the rescue of a bald eagle they discovered tangled in fishing line in Florida. The line had tangled around the bird’s wing, and a fishing hook was stuck in the eagle’s beak.
The two children, from Pasco County, brought the bird to a fire station for help.
“[We] heard a knock on the station door around 4 PM this afternoon,” the Pasco County Fire Rescue stated on Jan. 7. “When Driver Engineer Jerry Brown opened the door, he was greeted by two kids holding an injured bald eagle.”
