Covering it with one of their sweaters to keep it calm, the brothers spent several minutes freeing the eagle's leg.
A local bird expert praised the brothers' efforts and said "it took gumption" to approach the eagle, and its razor sharp talons and beak.
The eagle was calm enough after its rescue that the brothers decided to snap their picture with it before setting it free. Then got a video of the bird's release – flying across a clearing and into the woods.
