After an eaglet got stuck in a hole at the National Arboretum, an arborist was sent to set its little foot free.

The eaglet, one of two that was recently born at the site, got its right leg lodged in a hole of its nest on Thursday, according to a release from the American Eagle Foundation. The baby bird tried to free itself “over a considerable period of time,” but couldn’t.

So officials from the American Eagle Foundation, US Fish and Wildlife Service, and arboretum arranged the rescue operation. After climbing the tree, it took about 20 seconds for the arborist to gently lift the eaglet out of the hole—it was saved around 8 p.m.

A wildlife official initially examined the eaglet’s leg and said it did not appear to be seriously injured. Then, a vet in at a Maryland zoo conducted a check-up and confirmed that the eaglet “is in acceptable condition with the exception of an abrasion and swelling on the leg.”

Officials plan to return the eaglet back to its nest. Al Cecere, the president of the American Eagle Foundation, tells DCist that might be as soon as tonight.
