Столько мучений было в эмоциях птицы, попав в водную ловушку. Человек и птица с разных миров, но как-то поняли друг друга. Ведь поняла птаха, что её спасают, не побоялась. Человек герой, живую душу спас, птицу гордую. Спасибо за видео! Россия, Москва.
You are a very good and kind man for rescuing this eagle that was obviously distraught and struggling. Also the fact that you kept checking up on her shows your true compassion for others!! Great job!!
@@paulgreen2401 Fisherman are often ones taking care of nature and fish. Even to the point of getting in positions in order to manage lakes and isue law and regulations. To say that it has had good effect on lakes near to me would not say anything. They maintain them (managing waterweeds, preventing ''oxygen hunger'' in winters, taking care of sources of polution, net fishing, fishing in restricted times, fishing restricted fish - ''with what ever methods works''. Being part of nature and mitigating overpopulation strain on nature does not make eating fish not natural. And fishin for sports = released fish. I can talk only about my region, as I have seen change and know people only here.
@@paulgreen2401 Animals live in the same way, with every single of human feature (non reason based, but wery comparable). Tree options - drasticaly reduce human population and, dont practice almost any technology (integrate back in nature), take action to keep nature in balance with watever works or dismantle nature and live in extremly dificult utopia where few selected speciman of nature are kept practicaly as pets (no undoing posibilities) p.s. about ''only in order to kill'' - eating fish is miniscule part of it. Nothing in that is novere near similar to ?''fish farms''?. p.p.s. Some parts of land, in past 30 ore so years, here are becoming restricted by law because of endangered species returning. For some even hosting substantial part of population (of world). So it is not like none of us (I even take part in forest/grass things) here know anything about health/preservation of nature. Yes, a lot of wrong, but not all of it.
@@paulgreen2401 Fishing is just a form of hunting, something that is very much natural for us to do. If you want to have your nark on about fishing, then at least direct towards the actually ecologically disastrous things like trawling.
@@paulgreen2401 Owning slaves is not natural. It's cultural. Civilization is built on culture. If you really want to improve things, you should focus on what matters, like deforestation and habitat destruction for agricultural expansion, while we continue to throw out tons and tons of food. Or cultural superstition in various countries that turns systematic extermination of specific species into a gold mine. Hunting is not an issue and can be greatly beneficial for nature when handled right, and is even a tool for conservation. Your reasons are noble but you target them at the wrong issue.
Great Job ! People Like You Are 1 in a Million ... That Bald Eagle was very lucky to have been in the right place & time As You Sir Saved This Bald Eagles Life ... Thank You & Once again GREAT JOB !
Thank you, Sir, for helping this juvenile Eagle get to O.W.L.!! A very high percentage of “juvie” Eagle’s don’t make it to their 1st birthday, & the kindness & love for one of God’s creatures that you showed was truly a blessing, not only to the Eagle, but to North America itself! You’re awesome in the eyes of anyone who loves animals, (like me), & I’ll bet you even made God smile that day. Thank you SO MUCH for helping Nanoose! God bless you always. ❤️🦅✝️🤗🦅❤️
Oh he was so tired! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME TO HELP! what a beautiful bird so glad u got to hang out with him for lil bit. Funny how animals understand when and who they can trust. I hate it so many people miss out on experiences that are so cool bc they don’t pay attention, don’t care, or don’t take the time to get outside to enjoy our beautiful 🌎. Thanks again for your help!
I can't believe there are people writing messages about how this guy was doing it wrong or he was selfish for filming it. These guys are called internet trolls. You are a brave soul and a kind man. thank you for doing this. He put his own safety at risk to safe this bird.
His own safety was not in question here. It's the eagle that just couldn't move anymore, because he was exhausted & malnourished on top of it. He moved slower than water going uphill.
I was completely delighted by how this great guy stopped everything to rescue this magnificent animal! Also was amazing the way she interact with him and understood his gestures to come aboard!!!! Got VERY sad she couldn’t make it, in spite all wonderful job the rescued and OWL made 😢 but they gave her a great try and I’d like to say thanks a lot for all of you that makes this planet better no matter what 💖
Thanks for posting the follow ups after the water rescue. What a smart bird, responding to your gestures. Though sad for the mangificent bird, it's a compelling read. Loved your keeping on following the treatment / progress with the rescue service. Cheers.
Thank God someone with some sense is watching this video and commenting his respect. I have been following eagles for years, and this saint of a man did the first thing you do in a situation like this: remain calm, voice low, no sudden movements. If he had put the towel over this fledgling's head, he would then have had to contend with those talons. You cannot just go around picking up birds of prey no matter how well intentioned you may be. Sorry, Jack, I know I'm preaching to the choir here. Just needed to say something. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We may be among the one or two kinder people left on this planet.🙋♀️🌹💜
Excellent rescue Mr. Fisherman! You did a wonderful job and the Eagle felt your calm and peaceful nature. He trusted you to help him. What a fantastic once in a life time experience and thanks for sharing it with the world! Blessings to you.
Mia Wasp peaceful nature lmao whaaaaaaaat when wht ppl whole history have been destructive and barbaric i,mean the sun dont like you ppl and mind you the sun is life as you can see the world knows this and thats y its trying to cook u ppl.......lol
I`m a rehabilitator, clearly this bird is water logged and tired. at such a young age they sometimes don`t have the energy to get back up out of the water after attempting to catch a fish and get water logged in the process. the man did the right thing by taking his time as not to frighten or harm the bird ,or the other way around fully grown eagles can take down a deer by penetrating those talons into the spinal cord and killing the deer ! GOOD JOB SIR !
Amazing how Intelligent Animals are, The Eagle was clearly asking for help. and yet Dumb humans say that Animals are dumb, I think not. God's Beautiful Creatures
@@paulinewhitehouse8023 "dumb humans"? If humans were so dumb we wouldn't have wiped out most of the predators that were a threat to us survive near extinction and adapt so well around the world and now have a population of 7 billion. We made a great extinction in lots of species and are the only living things to have the power to wipe out the entire earth. If our species were so stupid we wouldn't have survived this far nor get this kind of domination in all food chains.
@@alextijerina468 There is a difference between a dumb individual and a dumb species. You can have dumb humans without the entire species homosapiens being ignorant.
decoysk and if anyone doesn’t believe you I have a picture of what’s left of a deer in a Golden Eagles nest. I monitor these birds and that’s the only reason anyone should ever be in an Eagles nest in the first place. It’s only done once a year and it’s for the purpose of banding the bird.
He was exhausted, and very doubtful he would have survived without your intervention. You’re a good man. You saved his life. My hat is off to you sir. Well done. Much respect.
It is amazing how the eagle swims all the way towards the boat and then stops as if asking for help and permission to come on board. The slow paced monologue is relaxing and a treat to listen to! Well done sir!
I am in love with this fisherman!! What a kind,compassionate man! He even thought to move the fishing poles in case the eagle wanted to fly out. I love the way he kept talking to the eagle. My hero for the month!
Very sad to hear that she didn't make it. Beautiful creature and you are a beautiful person for taking the time to not only rescue Nanoose, but to continue to check in on her progress. Thanks for sharing!
Much respect to you sir for rescuing this beautiful animal!!! She needed help and knew to swim to you to enlist your help🤗 Thank you for doing this. I’m incredibly sad she didn’t make it, however your checking up on her progress all this time has restored my faith in humans🥰
Oh that is so sad, I'm so sorry. Tears are just rolling out of my eyes, You did such a wonderful thing and OMG, your sense of humor mixed with pure compassion is so beautiful. You are an awesome human being and I know that Swimmer knew you were her friend. You are so wonderful!!!!
Last year there was a bald eagle that was injured in front of my house. It's wings were injured if i could remember and it was just laying on the cement in the cold rain. Me, a few neighbors and my dad came closer to it as I was hurt. Just like you in the video we gave it some space so we wouldn't scare it or make it force to defend itself but we called in a few people from the bird shelter (I think it was called) and now they fixed him up and he's flying beautifully. Once in a while I see him flying around the neighborhood. Great video!
I was calling you the "eagle whisperer" in my head. Brave soul who brings a bald eagle on board even an exhausted one. I'm sorry she didn't have a long life, but at least on that particular day, it wasn't her time just yet because of you and you had an experience almost no one else has had.
@@StevenCS0621 Lucky, Patricia is NOT saying the boat-owner HAS experience saving birds...Rather, Patricia is saying that by the boater caring enough to try and coax the bird from the water to his boat,.. by being 'that' close to an Eagle,...by getting to know the 'Rescue-facility' folks @ O.W.L., and learning what they do, by caring enough to keep showing up there and checking on "Swimmer's" progress and problems she faced, and actively hoping for her recovery----the BOAT OWNER has HAD an experience that no one else has ever had. Thanks!
What world do I live in? I can understand a little frustration from those saying it'd be better not to film at the beginning and focus on the bird but I CAN'T UNDERSTAND how people are bashing this guy!! He stopped to save a wild animal in distress. As others have mentioned, calm and slow is the approach here, you don't want to make overly fast movements or try to coddle it (I saw a comment below insulting the video and then recommending to wrap the eagle in a towel... WRONG!!) Anyways, the guy did a great job, the eagle was rescued and is being rehabilitated. This video gives reason to CELEBRATE! Stop shooting others down and let's support one another. I personally have never been in this situation and wouldn't know exactly what to do either. This man rescued the eagle from the water, didn't cause it further harm, and delivered it to authorities. He gets a 10/10 in my book!! Thank you for sharing this video to show there are still humans that are concerned with helping animals!!
I'd have recorded the whole thing too because this was a once in a lifetime event that no one would have believed had he not filmed it. I have learned so much about eagles because of this video and I won't have been the only one to have hit the internet to find out about them after seeing this video.
I completely agree Zach, I don't understand how they are bashing him for saving a wild beautiful bird. When some of these people have been helped out in their lives. SOME PEOPLE! ERRRRR!
Awhhh.... Poor baby. What a sweet video. It is nice to see a true story in which someone does something selfless. There are too many negative, horrific things going on nowadays . So glad I came across this. :)
Saw the story on CTV - perhaps the best 12mins. I've enjoyed on youtube in a long while. Major praise for your humanitarian efforts - that was just great! Job well done.
Amazing. Reminds me of the film; Life of Pi. Well done sir. Your calm demeanor must have surely aided in the Eagle's impulse to not freak out. I can imagine many thoughts/ideas/avoidences plans going round in your head all at once, but you chose a good balanced method and I particularly liked your instinct to aim the sun onto his plan profile in order to maximize the surface intensity of sunlight upon his Feathers. Great job sir.
I heard from a eagle rescuer when eagles are really hurt they come towards the humans for help!! Amazing ways of the nature! Really great you could help rescue this bird 👍.
Most excellent. The fledgling was obviously in shock evidenced by the uncontrollable tremors. Only those inexperienced would find fault in your handling of the situation. Cudo's dude. Well done.
Thankyou for helping this beautiful eagle also thanks to the rescue group O.W.L who nursed her, it's terribly sad to hear she didn't get her chance for a safe release into the wild. Her life was sadly very short, 😟 I believe you all did your absolute best for her. 💖 thanks again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Was it just plain exhaustion, or hypothermia? I know how cold the water up island can get.. Or was it something else that forced the bird into the water in the first place? Eagles do not generally fall into the water unless they've been shot at.. I know it's illegal but pranksters with no conscience do occasionally shoot big birds..
@@sgdeluxedoc I don't fucking consider shooting birds a "prank". Those who shoot birds are bird killers with no conscience. A big difference between bird killers and pranksters.
So sad to see that Nanoose has since passed- but you bought her 6 months and a peaceful death! Glad to see that there are still some kind people in this world ❤️
Just yesterday (12-25-2919) a huge golden eagle perched on a tree limb outside my bedroom window in the morning sun for at least an hour. She was magnificent. Would I help a creature like that in distress, of course. This amazing bird in this video was cold and exhausted and just needed a safe place to rest, warm up and dry out. I was at sea once a long time ago and an exhausted sparrow fell onto the deck. Some jackass crew-member just picked the poor thing up and threw it overboard into the ocean. I’ll never forget that. Thankfully most people have compassion.
This has got to be on of the most beautiful videos I have watched and most engaging intros as you describe the progress and then parting of Nanoose...thanks for sharing it and for your efforts. (and I cannot believe who could have put a thumbs down)
You’re a wonderful man - well done ! Sometimes we have to intervene to save a creature big or small. That bird knew he needed help - you were right there to save him. Fantastic - I hope he was able to be helped and nourished and is now back to the wild.
People need to understand those wings can break your arm, that beak can take off your fingers and those talons can rip you to shreds. What this guy done was the right thing, he didn't touch it and allowed him his space
Its so awesome you took time and are still taking time out of your life to help and support this eagle! Thank you. You are a role-model for other people and I love that. Thank you for the updates. I always wonder what happens to the rescues.
Epic rescue my good man, thank you so much for showing us how its done. You showed that eagle respect & kindness, well done you ;-) Love this, so thanks for the upload.
Obviously he doesn't know a lot about birds but you have to be thankful and give him credit for helping the bird. No need to bash him, he did a good deed.
Thank for rescuing this eagle and handing him off to the right people. Eagles are very smart. I think when he was at his caretakers that he was trying to tell them, hey I have a nest by the water where u rescued me. He was trying to communicate this by wetting his nesting and playing in his water dish all the time. All animals communicate. Through body language and sound. Just like us humans. We have to try and understand what are they trying to tell us.
IM TIRED OF READING YOU ALL EFFING COMMENTS ABOUT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS OR HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! GIVE THE GUY A DUE RESPECT FOR HE DID THE RIGHT THING!. HE INTERVENED COZ ITS NATURAL FOR ANY HUMAN WITH RIGHT VALUE OF LIFE WOULD DO. HE SAVED AN ANIMAL'S LIFE. I WOULD DO THE SAME GIVEN THE SITUATION TO THE FISHERMAN, WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND. THE GOOD WILL THE YOU DID WILL CERTAINLY GET BACK AT YOU. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU SIR!. YOU HELPED RESTORE OUR FAITH TO HUMANITY!
I’m trippin on how it seem like the bird came to him like at this point it’s life or death gamble with a human and maybe he let me go or die in this water? I take my chances “heeeyyyy!” This video is awesome
I know this was a few years ago, but I'v just come across it & I wanted to say 'Thank You' Thanks for rescuing such a magnificent bird. I'm sure other people will have been too nervous to help or just didnt care. So once again. 😘 Thanks 👍
Awe such a sad ending 😢💔 but thank u for your kind heart for helping the lil guy/girl. Thank you to OWL also for all they did. It takes patience and a big heart and a lot of work to care for animals/birds of prey.
It was a trap! He agreed with his friends to get captured to investigate how the moving machines with humans worked! You just brought destruction upon us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No. I kid. Great video dude. Love all the Eagles off on BC Island.
Sorry about your eagle friend, passing on. It's clear this random encounter with this drowning eagle, set-off a meaningful chain of events in your life. Cheers, and thank you for doing everything you could to help her. RIP Nanoose 🦅
Same thing happened to me while fishing for large trouts in Lake Mary Ronan(Montana),the eagle plunged for bigger than she could carry(a large Cut-throat)and claws in, she crash landed in the frigid water(called her Sully-Girl),15 F from me,put my gloves on and got her on the deck,trout still clawed,super cold water,got her in a towel down in the cabin,and 30 minutes later,she took -off again,I kept the trout!!!!!!,impressed by the injuries on the fish....guess she had them so deep,in the flesh,she could not release it and hit the water,incredible....!!!!!..
God Bless You Sir.. You helped anyway you can and that is absolutely kind.. It's heartbreaking to hear that "Nanoose" didn't make it in the end but he will never forget that you helped at the first place..
He’s exhausted! Feathers are REALLY heavy when wet. He knew you were there to help. Thank you for the rescue! Well done you! ♥️

The world needs more guys like you Thank you for sharing ps love your comments during filming made me smile Your a good man indeed
Best ever! He says, " I gotta say, you're the most unusual fishing partner I've ever had" .....absolutely love it!! Sir! You're awesome!!
NO DOUBT A GRATEFUL EAGLE AND A GREAT RESCUE...YOU'RE A WILDLIFE HERO AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR KINDNESS TOWARD THEM!
Does me good to see kindness like that. Peaceful approach, and you were spot on that the bird was hiding. Thank you, noble sir.
Awhhh.... Poor baby. What a sweet video. It is nice to see a true story in which someone does something selfless. There are too many negative, horrific things going on nowadays . So glad I came across this. :)
Truly an akward situation but luckily that eagle found you and you rescued it. This video made me happy
Saw the story on CTV - perhaps the best 12mins. I've enjoyed on youtube in a long while. Major praise for your humanitarian efforts - that was just great! Job well done.
I could tell right away he was starving. He was too skinny. Thank you for saving this beautiful birds life. Good humans are getting scarce.
I love how patient and calm you were with him! Bravo!
Amazing. Reminds me of the film; Life of Pi. Well done sir. Your calm demeanor must have surely aided in the Eagle's impulse to not freak out. I can imagine many thoughts/ideas/avoidences plans going round in your head all at once, but you chose a good balanced method and I particularly liked your instinct to aim the sun onto his plan profile in order to maximize the surface intensity of sunlight upon his Feathers. Great job sir.
Well done! I love how the eagle still looks majestic, even soaking wet and exhausted. :)
Your amazing, you are so lucky to have had such a unique experience! And thanks again for saving the eagle!!
That eagle is exhausted, not just wet. He's beautiful.
This is lovely. You are doubly blessed to be out there on the peaceful water and in position to save this beautiful creature.
Nicely done Don. I hope the eagle pulls through.
Well done for saving a majestic Bird . May God Bless you. You have a great Heart.
gameball2003 with the
Gameball2003- well said. Eagles are protected by laws and God
I’m surprised how smart this bird is, it came towards the boat looking for help
It's not smart, it's desperation, it could've have swimed to land,
in Brasil we have an saying "for those who are drowning, alligator is trunk" you got the ideia
They're opportunistic so survival is all they want.
why u surprised...they the eyes in the sky
I heard from a eagle rescuer when eagles are really hurt they come towards the humans for help!! Amazing ways of the nature!
Really great you could help rescue this bird 👍.
THIS IS AWESOME !!!!! Who gets to see a wild eagle up close ? WOW! Under he Skies! Out at Sea! You rescued an Eagle! 🌟🥇🏆🦅
What a nice man to help the poor young Eagle! If he had left it in the water the baby would have drowned. Great job sir!
This man deserves all our respect and recognition 💯👍
brilliant video , loved the reaction of the bird as you picked him up out the water lol x Great job on the rescue x
Man: alone on his boat
Eagle: has joined the party
I'm so sorry the Eagle didn't make it. At least she was able to get some care and comfort. Thanks again for helping her/him.
that's a good thing you did, beautiful man. you really saved that bird, mother nature will reward you someday.
Thanks for taking the time to help!
I'm so proud to live among such a kind guys.
Great job. Thank you for taking the time to save a life.
Most excellent. The fledgling was obviously in shock evidenced by the uncontrollable tremors. Only those inexperienced would find fault in your handling of the situation. Cudo's dude. Well done.
Well done, you should be commended for having stopped and saved his life! Thank you 🙏😌
Thankyou for helping this beautiful eagle also thanks to the rescue group O.W.L who nursed her, it's terribly sad to hear she didn't get her chance for a safe release into the wild. Her life was sadly very short, 😟 I believe you all did your absolute best for her. 💖 thanks again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Was it just plain exhaustion, or hypothermia? I know how cold the water up island can get.. Or was it something else that forced the bird into the water in the first place? Eagles do not generally fall into the water unless they've been shot at.. I know it's illegal but pranksters with no conscience do occasionally shoot big birds..
@@sgdeluxedoc I don't fucking consider shooting birds a "prank". Those who shoot birds are bird killers with no conscience. A big difference between bird killers and pranksters.
Jackie Rudd , how did it not make it ?
Jason Alexander , The whole story , it's all written down in the description
So sad to see that Nanoose has since passed- but you bought her 6 months and a peaceful death! Glad to see that there are still some kind people in this world ❤️
Just yesterday (12-25-2919) a huge golden eagle perched on a tree limb outside my bedroom window in the morning sun for at least an hour. She was magnificent. Would I help a creature like that in distress, of course. This amazing bird in this video was cold and exhausted and just needed a safe place to rest, warm up and dry out.
I was at sea once a long time ago and an exhausted sparrow fell onto the deck. Some jackass crew-member just picked the poor thing up and threw it overboard into the ocean. I’ll never forget that. Thankfully most people have compassion.
Amazing how just a little sparrow could teach such a strong lesson!
Now that's not something you get to see every day. Thank you sir. That was one of the kindest acts I've ever seen. Thank you again brother!!
This has got to be on of the most beautiful videos I have watched and most engaging intros as you describe the progress and then parting of Nanoose...thanks for sharing it and for your efforts. (and I cannot believe who could have put a thumbs down)
You are an amazing kind hearted soul. Thank you for helping the animals.
This guy is very kind to Offer help when he realized the bird need help. Hope every body can do the same.
Thank you for rescuing this beautiful juvie. He was in excellent hands with you and now with O.W.L.
You’re a wonderful man - well done ! Sometimes we have to intervene to save a creature big or small.
That bird knew he needed help - you were right there to save him. Fantastic - I hope he was able to be helped and nourished and is now back to the wild.
He did a great deed. Thanks for that. The video could be a bit frustrating to some due to everyone’s concern for the bird. Still, amazing rescue.
People need to understand those wings can break your arm, that beak can take off your fingers and those talons can rip you to shreds. What this guy done was the right thing, he didn't touch it and allowed him his space
he was clearly exhausted and no harm
Word. Any kind of eagle could fuck you right up.
Also, if he moved too abruptly, he could have startled the eagle further away from him. Saw that going on in another raptor rescue video.
the wings can break your arm? i think your overselling it buddy
Angry_Old_ _Man_Gamer exactly what i was thinking.
Its so awesome you took time and are still taking time out of your life to help and support this eagle! Thank you. You are a role-model for other people and I love that. Thank you for the updates. I always wonder what happens to the rescues.
Epic rescue my good man, thank you so much for showing us how its done. You showed that eagle respect & kindness, well done you ;-) Love this, so thanks for the upload.
Wielki ptak ! Skrzydla zapewne stracily swoj tluszcz i moglby zginac z wyczerpania i niemoznosci latania ! Wspanialy czlowiek , brawo !
Obviously he doesn't know a lot about birds but you have to be thankful and give him credit for helping the bird. No need to bash him, he did a good deed.
He knew exactly what to do .. Spread wings and dry. Great job bro.
Well done! Thank you so much for doing this!
Amazing work brother, its wee face when you got it in the net resting, good man!!
Thank for rescuing this eagle and handing him off to the right people. Eagles are very smart. I think when he was at his caretakers that he was trying to tell them, hey I have a nest by the water where u rescued me. He was trying to communicate this by wetting his nesting and playing in his water dish all the time. All animals communicate. Through body language and sound. Just like us humans. We have to try and understand what are they trying to tell us.
Thanks for the video, you were in the right place & time to rescue this majestic bird, I could feel the relief this bird must've felt, you're awesome.
IM TIRED OF READING YOU ALL EFFING COMMENTS ABOUT HE SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS OR HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! GIVE THE GUY A DUE RESPECT FOR HE DID THE RIGHT THING!. HE INTERVENED COZ ITS NATURAL FOR ANY HUMAN WITH RIGHT VALUE OF LIFE WOULD DO. HE SAVED AN ANIMAL'S LIFE. I WOULD DO THE SAME GIVEN THE SITUATION
TO THE FISHERMAN, WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND. THE GOOD WILL THE YOU DID WILL CERTAINLY GET BACK AT YOU. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU SIR!. YOU HELPED RESTORE OUR FAITH TO HUMANITY!
I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLE HEARTEDLY! Lol :p
well said the world is full of idiot know it alls
Rotten comments from nasty folk! Sick!
Yip...
"the measure you measure out...
will be measured back...
shaken down...
overflowing..."
Stop using all caps. Makes you look crazy.
Nice to see that there's still some people out in the world with a thing called a HEART.
I’m trippin on how it seem like the bird came to him like at this point it’s life or death gamble with a human and maybe he let me go or die in this water? I take my chances “heeeyyyy!” This video is awesome
De Corn , those are my thoughts as well. If the human didn’t immediately go after him, it’s a chance worth taking
De Corn It didn’t “come to him.” It was just paddling. It was in bad shape, and the last thing a raptor would do is approach a human.
I know this was a few years ago, but I'v just come across it & I wanted to say 'Thank You'
Thanks for rescuing such a magnificent bird.
I'm sure other people will have been too nervous to help or just didnt care.
So once again.
😘 Thanks 👍
Thank you for all the updates. Rip Nanoose. Fly high.
Awe such a sad ending 😢💔 but thank u for your kind heart for helping the lil guy/girl. Thank you to OWL also for all they did. It takes patience and a big heart and a lot of work to care for animals/birds of prey.
It was a trap!
He agreed with his friends to get captured to investigate how the moving machines with humans worked!
You just brought destruction upon us all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. I kid. Great video dude. Love all the Eagles off on BC Island.
How old are you now?
Best clip I have seen so far this year! RIP beautiful bird.
Sorry about your eagle friend, passing on. It's clear this random encounter with this drowning eagle, set-off a meaningful chain of events in your life. Cheers, and thank you for doing everything you could to help her. RIP Nanoose 🦅
Kind soul. It was obvious you did the best you could while not getting torn up. Creative. Don’t listen to the trolls. Thanks for saving the Eagle.
He did everything right. Good job! Saved that bird's butt.
No he didn't, he's a damn fool, a damn drunk fool at that!
Same thing happened to me while fishing for large trouts in Lake Mary Ronan(Montana),the eagle plunged for bigger than she could carry(a large Cut-throat)and claws in, she crash landed in the frigid water(called her Sully-Girl),15 F from me,put my gloves on and got her on the deck,trout still clawed,super cold water,got her in a towel down in the cabin,and 30 minutes later,she took -off again,I kept the trout!!!!!!,impressed by the injuries on the fish....guess she had them so deep,in the flesh,she could not release it and hit the water,incredible....!!!!!..

Thank you for being this eagles hero!
I rescued a kitten he was in a very bad way in process of getting him vaccinated and vetted.animals are cool.
Read description - died in recovery
God Bless You Sir.. You helped anyway you can and that is absolutely kind.. It's heartbreaking to hear that "Nanoose" didn't make it in the end but he will never forget that you helped at the first place..
O man

U r one of those glorious people who r always trying to make this planet a nice place to live ....
Thanks
