Florida authorities narrowly saved a bald eagle after it crash-landed in a yard — then plummeted into a canal teeming with sharp-toothed alligators.

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office celebrated the “majestic save” that sent two valiant officers straight into gator-infested waters early Wednesday morning.

The bald eagle crashed into a resident’s yard in Palm City, Florida. It sat on the grass, seemingly stunned by its own poor coordination, according to a photo shared by the sheriff’s office.

Then, once it gathered its bearings, the out-of-place fowl tried to take flight again — and plunged right into a nearby canal that is frequented by alligators.

MCSO Corporal William Weiss and Animal Services Officer Shannon McGee responded to the “distressing call” placed by a resident. By the time they arrived, they realized the bald eagle was adrift in the murky waters.

Weiss and McGee both trudged through the sludge while the helpless eagle floated deeper into the canal.

Eventually, they retrieved the battered bird and rushed it to a local wildlife hospital.

The eagle is making a slow but steady recovery, pending further evaluation. It suffered “a significant wing injury,” the sheriff’s office said, but it’s not clear if it was hurt before or during the accident.

It was still drenched from beak to claw when it arrived at the animal hospital, according to photos shared by the sheriff’s office. One wing appeared to have a large, bloody gash.

The sheriff’s office lauded the eagle-eyed resident “for making the call immediately, which played a critical role in ensuring a quick response and ultimately saving the eagle.”

Killing a bald eagle is a federal crime with a maximum sentence of one year behind bars and a whopping $100,000 fine, according to the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

The bald eagle was previously on the endangered species list. It was removed in 2007 after conservation efforts helped restore the population.
