Officials with the Tamarack Wildlife Center in Slippery Rock on Thanksgiving answered an emergency call when an eagle had his foot stuck in a fence. The officials were able to locate the eagle who was stuck in the fence chasing a meal. The eagle was taken by the officials to Tamarack to be taken care for injuries and be able to fly again.

I know a Vet who is brave enough and skilled enough to handle eagles. He has helped them more than once.

That was putting his foot in it, and it was good somebody reported this and the eagle was freed from the fence.

That is truer that someone did alert the authorities of what happened to the bald eagle.
