local reports, the eagle spent the night in Swinoujscie being cleaned and cared for by wildlife conservation workers before being transferred to a refuge in Szczecin. Experts were reported as saying they believed the eagle, which was named Icarus, was about six months old and the flight that ended in the mud may have been the eagle’s first. Chomicz has a history of saving birds in trouble. In summer 2015, he rescued another white-tailed eagle that had also become stuck in mud near Swinoujscie. A striking photo of two eagles taken by Chomicz was featured on the National Geographic website in 2014 Credit: YouTube/iswinoujscie">
