Man Saves Bald Eagle Trapped In Water, Video Is Epic: WATCH

A man stepped up to rescue a bald eagle, and the footage will have you singing the red, white and blue.

The bald eagle is a sign of American power and prestige, but this time, it wasn't even an American who took care of business.

It was a Canadian.

Man rescues bald eagle.

A video going mega-viral shows a man reaching down in the water to help the struggling bird, and I can promise you're not going to want to miss this one.

Give it a watch below, and let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Pretty epic, right? Not only is the footage epic, but the reactions were great too. Check out some of the best comments below:

  • Bro looking at him like "you got a towel?"
  • hero!
  • So, he saved America, coz that's a national bird
  • Eagle "Can you believe this sh*t?"
  • Eagle was like "im never drinking again"...I know that face well
  • Got out that water looking stressed
  • "….you gon’ dry me off, bro?"
  • USA saved by Canada

I know I mock Canada a lot (the country deserves it, and we all know it), but credit where credit is due. That's America's bird, and a Canadian saved it.

I'm not saying we have to rush out and offer him citizenship, but let's definitely buy the man a beer. He's done more than enough to earn it.

What do you think of the man's quick thinking and actions? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
