Mountain Climber Stunned by "Giant Rock Crushing Enormous Wings"

A dramatic rescue unfolded at Susquehanna Riverlands State Park in Pennsylvania when a rock climber named Kelston noticed a peculiar sight—a large patch of feathers protruding from a gap between boulders. As Kelston approached, he found himself face to face with a pair of piercing eyes. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Kelston immediately called for help.

Upon closer inspection, Kelston discovered that the eagles were trapped under the rocks and unable to move. Despite their predicament, the birds were still alive. Kelston quickly contacted the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to request assistance from a rescue team.

After receiving the report, the DCNR enlisted the help of Maryann, a wildlife expert skilled in capturing and transporting animals. Upon arriving at the scene, Maryann realized that there were two eagles trapped beneath the boulder. Concerned about the condition of the eagles, she urgently requested additional assistance from Tracie Young, a wildlife rehabilitator.

As dusk approached, Tracie and her team rushed to the location with the necessary equipment. Upon arrival, Tracie was shocked by the sight of the eagles trapped in the rocks, fearing that their wings might be broken. Together, the team managed to move the boulder and rescue the eagles, transporting them to a rehabilitation center for treatment.

The first eagle rescued was a female with a severe laceration on her leg. The male eagle, who required more time to free, did not have visible injuries but was later diagnosed with lead poisoning. Following a period of treatment and care, both eagles gradually regained their health and vitality, indicating they were ready to return to the wild.

Experts believed the eagles were a pair, and they chose Veterans Day (November 11th) to release them back into nature. The sight of the eagles soaring freely in the sky moved many, and online comments expressed gratitude and well wishes for the birds: "Fly together in the sky, stay safe! Thank you for taking care of these eagles."
