I was patrolling late one afternoon when Tyler called me all in a panic! I said, "Tye I can't understand you, slow down and tell me again!" "There's an eagle, a young one and he has flown into the power line by the big tree. He's hanging there upside down." With the tone of his voice I had already turned around and hit the lights and was motivating right by the PD. Daddy Rafe was looking out the window when he saw me blow by. He called me and I told him I was headed home because Tye was on the phone hysterical! Daddy Rafe said, "I'll be right behind you!" "Tyler said, every time he flapped his wings sparks go flying." "Stay right away from there Tyler!" "I'm in the house." "OK you stay in the house even when I get there." "OK he said. How long before your home?" "Not long now buddy!" "I pulled into the drive way and pulled up near the tree. I jumped out left my lights on and went to the back and grabbed the gloves we had in case we came across live wires. I stuffed them down my jacket grabbed the teather and mask I bought on the fly home and I commenced to climb. I also had a piece of rope with me so I could tie off up there." "Hang on little guy I'm coming as fast as I can." He flapped and I got an electrical shower! Daddy Rafe pulled in and seeing my truck by that tree he looked up and up and up and well damn up! "There she is oh brother this is not good! Well damn eagle!" And the eagle flapped again and sparks went everywhere! Daddy Rafe ran clear. I finally got up even with the Eagle and he wasn't even a little happy! I put the gloves on and tried to put the hood on him. Well that wasnt going to work. I tied myself off and left one hand glove less. I reached out and grabbed the wires and kept them separated and with my other hand I slid the hood over his face. Of course before I could tighten it he bit me in good shape! "Look you little brat I'm trying to help you! Work with me! I put the hood on again and this time I tightened it down." Step one done! Then I tethered his feet and tied the cord to my wrist just in case I couldn't catch him...
