A bald eagle was rescued in Charles County, Maryland, after it was found entangled in a cord in the woods on Friday.
A post on the Charles County Sheriff’s Office’s Facebook page showed how Department of Natural Resource officers and private wildlife rescue personnel worked with the sheriff’s office to free the bird. The two police officers who responded help catch the eagle and held it while others freed the bird from the cord.
They said the cord was choking the eagle and had wrapped around its talons. Within minutes, they were able to free the bird, check it for injuries and release it safely.
