Video Shows Injured Bald Eagle Rescued by NYPD Officers on the Hudson River
NYPD Harbor Unit officers rescued a senior bald eagle stranded on shrinking ice and transported it to Raptor Trust sanctuary for intensive care, officials said.
- On Feb. 17, NYPD Harbor Unit officers rescued an injured bald eagle from the Hudson River near the George Washington Bridge while on patrol.
- Trapped on a shrinking ice float, the eagle was stranded in the Hudson and bleeding from its injured wing, prompting the Harbor Unit to act quickly.
- Using a catch pole and tarp, officers secure the eagle, and Officer Mike Russo states, `'We put a plan together... until we met the DEC.'`
- The bird was taken to New Jersey's Raptor Trust, which said the senior eagle is in intensive care and expected to recover.
- Russo noted he hadn't seen an eagle there in 16 years, and experts report bald eagles frequent the lower Hudson Valley in winter, peaking in January and February for open-water fishing.
