CROW, Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (eagle rehab center), is prohibited
by federal law, from rescuing E8. They need a go-ahead from US Forest and Wildlife
Service to rescue the baby. The phone number is: 239-561-8144. Perhaps if enough
callers get to the USF&WS, they will allow CROW to rescue the eaglet.

It is my understanding that rescue or human care of the eaglets is only
authorized if the threat is man made or a result of human activity.
Otherwise, nature is allowed to take it's course.

The fishing line wrapped around the foot was man made and the result of
human activity. Pecking the crap (bonking) of a sibling is nature.

E8 seemed to be a little more active last time I looked.

Well, the start of the problem was man-made.
