Ecologists came to the rescue of a baby bald eagle after it was accidentally kicked from its nest by its parent.
The chick was sleeping Monday on one of its parents' feet when "the parent took off, and it just accidentally knocked the chick out of the nest," research ecologist Peter Sharpe, who oversees the bald eagle restoration project on the Channel Islands in California, told CNN. Sharpe and his team are monitoring 21 bald eagle nests on the islands this season.
The eaglet fell between 10 and 15 feet and landed in a steep gully, Sharpe said. The nest is monitored with a video camera that captured the fuzzy youngster's dramatic fall.
