The University of Minnesota’s Raptor Center confirms the adult female bird is still under evaluation and undergoing tests.

Fifteen-year-old Grant Fortney was fishing with his dad on Sunday at Mary Park in New Richmond, Wisconsin when they first noticed the bird overhead.

Fortney used his oar to clean off the mess and support the eagle’s feet. The bird would eventually find his footing on the front of Fortney’s boat and stay there until they got to shore. A volunteer from the Raptor Center – University of Minnesota helped them from there. “I was scared, not going to lie,” said Fortney. “I was worried she was going to come at me because I'm sitting right in the front with her.”

“He first said, a new pet and I’m like, what,” said Tellijohn, remembering her son’s text with video of the rescue. “Then when he told me he rescued it, I mean, that’s just a cool story.”“Makes me think what a caring heart he really has and we need more of that,” said Tellijohn.
