Spring Lake fire officials Brian Sipe and Scott Smith talk to state conservation officers Jackie Miskovich and Robert Slick after responding to an eagle rescue incident Sunday afternoon on Spring Lake.
An immature bald eagle rests with his head down while his wings are frozen to the ice Sunday morning. As the sun warmed up the ice, the young bird was eventually able to fly away.

State conservation officers watch an immature eagle, trying to determine whether or not it was injured or frozen to the ice.
SPRING LAKE TWP. — Two bald eagles were swooping in a manner different than what Diane Valk was used to seeing, but the Spring Lake resident thought there was a small animal on the ice that was attracting their attention Sunday morning.
A few hours later, before leaving her house, Valk decided to take a look, walked out on her dock and realized there was an immature eagle apparently injured or stuck in the ice.
