The post Eagle Engages In An Epic Battle With A Heron appeared first on Barnorama.

When Dan Dunbar took his boat out near Nanoose Bay in British Columbia, he was probably hoping for a very different catch of the day.

Instead of reeling in a fish or two, Dunbar looked out and noticed a bald eagle barely treading water. He wasn’t sure exactly how to help it, but while he considered his options he pulled out his camera and started rolling.

Eagles are usually excellent swimmers, but this little guy was clearly struggling.

The bird made its way closer to the boat, but drifted away before Dunbar could get near enough with his net.

So he turned the engine on to get as close as possible, finally nabbing the distressed fella.

The eagle rested in the net for a few minutes until he’d gathered enough strength to enter the boat.

Once inside, he stretched his wings out to help them dry.

After awhile, he decided to give them a shot at flying…but they weren’t quite dry enough.

He looks kind of embarrassed. “Well,” Dunbar narrates, “So much for that idea. Guess you better dry out a little more.”

You can watch the whole ordeal with Dunbar’s encouraging commentary here:

When this eagle found itself in a life-threatening situation it was lucky enough that there were some kind humans around to save its life.

 The eagle had apparently miscalculated its flight and hit the water too hard. With the extra weight from the water on its feathers it was unable to take off again.
It struggled in the water for a few minutes until it was spotted by nearby men, who quickly raced out on a little dingy. Armed with only a wooden pallet they manged to save the eagle by throwing the pallet out so the eagle had something to climb onto and wait for its feathers to dry.

Pallets are like duct tape, there are endless situations where one can come in handy.
