SWFL Eagles- M15's Right Wing Entangled In Fishing Line!Dad Removes Hook & Fishing Line

In this video, M15 brings a fish to the nest. The fish was previously hooked and a piece of fishing line can be seen as Dad lands in the nest. A few moments later M15 makes his way to the Oak Office tree with the fish in tow, fishing line and all! As Dad flies over the pasture you can observe the fishing line entangled in his right wing. By the time, he flies over the pond, the line has fortunately unraveled from his wing and can be seen trailing in the air as he lands in the Oak Office tree. M15 removed the hook in the Oak Office Tree and ate the fish. The purpose of this video is to highlight the every day hazards that eagles come up against. I vividly recall E19 and E20 being in a similarly distressing situation. Both eaglets were entangled while in the nest with a piece of fishing line and hook. E19 freed himself of the hook within a couple hours and E20 luckily removed the line and hook overnight. At the time this video was recorded the administrators and camera operators checked on DAD and the kids and gave the all clear. Stating that the fishing line was no longer a threat. I have been very distressed while watching the events at the Dale Hollow Eagle Cam unfold. DH17 and DH18 are entangled in a fishing line while Obey (or the male adult eagle) is missing. So I decided to edit and post the video of M15 flying over the pasture as a section of fishing line wraps itself around his right wing then trails behind him. These events serve as a learning experience. Many people are contentious of the their actions, such as properly disposing of fishing line and tackle. But we must continue to spread awareness so that these circumstances do not repeat themselves.The leading causes of death in bald eagles are : Lead Poisoning is caused by the ingestion of lead originating from hunter- shot animals and lead sinkers from fishing. Vehicular Trauma (death by impact, broken limbs, legs or wings) Anticoagulant Rodenticides (Secondary Poisoning) Instead of using first and second generation anticoagulant rodenticides other methods such as snap traps, zap traps, and safer rodenticides that do not cause secondary poisoning of wildlife in general can be implemented. In addition keeping trash cans tightly closed, securing pet food and including birdseed, grains, and any other food stored for farm animals and pets reduces the incident of rodent infestations and the need for rodenticides. Safer rodenticides, that do not cause secondary poisoning to wildlife are available. But these chemicals are still very toxic to pets and humans. Extreme caution must be used when handling these toxins. I am not promoting the use of the “safer chemicals”. My goal is to inform others of the options that are available. But again, how we store and dispose of waste is our first defense against an infestation of rodents. Bromethalin attacks the nervous system causing paralysis and death. Cholecalciferol or Vitamin D3 is very popular because of the reduced risk of secondary poisoning. This substance kills rodents by increasing the levels of calcium in there system which leads to the calcification of the rodent’s heart, lungs, and other vital organs. Fishing entanglement/ hook ingestion. When an animal becomes entangled in fishing line a painful struggle ensues. The victims of this entanglement typically suffer feather damage and lacerations from the constricting line as they fight to escape. Entangled animals are often entrapped and are unable to move, find food, or escape from predators. This deadly entrapment will ultimately lead to exhaustion, starvation, and dehydration if the animal is unable to free itself. When it comes to fishing, how can we help protect wildlife? We can all prevent wildlife injuries and deaths caused by improperly discarded fishing line and hooks. Dispose of broken or leftover gear properly; never leave behind fishing line, hooks, lures, or bait. Some places offer designated fishing gear disposal options, such as fishing line recycling bins or tubes. Do not release fish who still have hooks in them; if practicing catch and release, use barbless hooks. If you find an animal who is entangled in fishing line, and you are able to safely capture the animal, or If you unintentionally hook an animal while fishing remove the hook if it is possible to do so safely. If you are unable to do this, contact animal control or a permitted wildlife rehabilitator. The findings in this video are my personal opinions based on my observations. Please take my findings with a grain of salt! This video was recorded on Friday, April 7th of 2023. At the time this footage was recorded, E21 was 93 days old and E22 was 90 days old. This is a public video. You may share it at your discretion. This footage is part of a series that was recorded after Hurricane Ian destroyed the main nest and Harriet's disappearance.
