Marc Eiseman, an angler who lives in the Terns Landing section of Ocean Pines, owns a super-sized net he often uses to catch, then release, sharks from the ocean.
“[It’s] big enough to fish out grandchildren,” he said.
On Sunday, he used his giant net to retrieve a bald eagle from the Isle of Wight Bay.
An unknown boater was first to spot the injured bird in the bay, and he managed to scoot it to the sea wall in the Terns Landing area of Ocean Pines. About a dozen people watched as Eiseman and neighbor Ray Cooper used the net to carefully scoop the eagle from the bay.
“He was flopping in the water,” Eiseman said of the eagle.
The animal rested for about an hour, drying in the sun, before it jumped back into the water. Eiseman and Cooper used the net to scoop the eagle out of the water a second time. This time, however, Eiseman covered the animal so he would be unable to see and then he placed him in a dog crate. The eagle’s right wing was bleeding.
