NYPD Harbor Unit officers rescued an injured bald eagle that was found floating on ice in the Hudson River Tuesday, authorities said. The officers spotted the injured bird at about 9:27 a.m. local time while on patrol, hearing it cry out as it clung to a drifting slab of ice in the frigid river.
They quickly maneuvered their vessel through chunks of ice, bringing the boat alongside the stranded bird. Bodycam video released by the department showed the eagle perched on the edge of the ice as an officer extended a long catch pole to pull it to safety.

Get me a little closer,' another officer chimes in as he picks up the bird with what appears to be a yellow tarp.

An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the eagle was transported to a bird sanctuary for treatment of its injuries. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation , bald eagles flock to New York during the winter months, with arrivals beginning in December and peak concentrations in January and February before most return to their nests by mid-March.
