Emmett Blois is a rafting guide on the Shubenacadie River in Nova Scotia. He was out on the river and spotted a bald eagle that had been caught in the tidal bore and was too waterlogged to fly. Would you reach into the water to rescue this huge bird? The eagle, a large predator with powerful jaws and talons, was exhausted but still scared enough to cause injury. Yeah, she bit Blois. But he powered through and held her tight for an hour to get her to the Hope for Wildlife rehabilitation center. Despite the bite and the eagle's fearful demeanor, Blois wouldn't trade the experience of holding a bald eagle for anything. See some closeup photos from that day at Instagram.
