Body camera footage shows officers on a boat using tools to pull the ice float toward them, while attempting to use a catch pole to grab the eagle.
“It’s alright bro, it’s alright,” an officer reassured the eagle as it appeared to question the removal method.
The officers were able to bring the bird onto the boat after using a combination of the catch pole and what appeared to be a rain jacket or plastic tarp to grab the eagle.
Officers then placed the bird into a carrier cage.
