Default Eagles at Southwest Fla

Drama at the eagle nest. It was discovered that one of the recent
hatchlings (E8) somehow got a fishing line wrapped around a leg or legs.

A bucket truck and operator was recruited and the little eaglet was
removed from the nest and taken to CROW (wildlife rehab) for treatment
and care.

E8 wasn't getting the food he/she needed due to the sibling rivalry of
E7 and the fact that it couldn't compete for food with the fishing line
wrapped around it.

It will likely be returned to the nest once it has caught up in it's
development.
