A group of California’s leading animals organizations convened on Saturday to raise awareness of a baby bald eagle’s rescue after it sank from its nest.
When disaster struck, the fresh eaglet was hatcheted in Orangevale in later March and had been closely followed by regional train KCRA 3.  ,

The girl bird, according to the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, had come out of its parents ‘ nest, which was nestled about 100 feet above the embankment on the hills of the American River. The eaglet was rescued from the falling trees by its parents, who were unable to pull or assist it.
Without the assistance of firefighters, state gardens, fish and game, California wildlife fights, and an arborist from Sierra Pacific Tree Services, the child would probably die or fall even further.
Around 3:42 p.m., with a video shared by the fire department showing the arborist making the “amazing” keep, recovery operations were afoot.
The eaglet will be examined by an insect pediatrician from Bird of Prey Health Group to determine whether it needs to be re-nested or whether it needs to remain with the Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, where it is now being cared for.
