A volunteer with the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors used his kayak skills to reach the bird.
– A bald eagle stuck and left lifeless on an ice floe – that was the call that came in from Waukegan Harbor Sunday morning.As CBS 2's Chris Tye reported Monday night, it was just 12 hours into the New Year when Hames Tibensky found himself in unfamiliar waters – on a mission.He was talking about bald eagles. The one on the ice floe was 3 years old.
"I broke loose the floe it was on and pushed it with my kayak - we call It bulldozing - pushed it with my kayak across the harbor," he said. Tye asked Dr. Sarah Reich of the Willowbrook Wildlife Center how she would grade Tibensky's decision-making.It's Reich's job to nurse back to health the patient the bloody beak - known as patient 23-00001 at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center.Even a day later – the bald eagle's gender is unknown. Its appetite is building."Probably another night or so and this bird wouldn't have made it," Reich said.. There are far more of them now than there were just 10 years ago.
