Male eagle gets a little too excited

Think of your worst courtship experience. Now thank the good Lord that you didn't screw it up as bad as this eagle did:
Officials say a bald eagle likely was in a springtime courtship ritual with its mate when they flew too low and the male got caught in the crotch of a maple tree at Jefferson.
[...]
He found the bird had one wing stuck in one set of branches and the other in other branches. He grabbed the talons and feet while freeing the wings, and also put a towel over the eagle's head to calm him down.

The eagle is going to be okay, and it will be released again near where they assissted it.
