Miracle on Big River - Elizabeth Schmidt

Miracle on Big River is based on actual events that occurred in the spring and summer of

2025. Ray Settle discovered an eagles nest in a downed tree in the flooded Big River. Two

eaglets were huddled in the nest that was slowly sinking. Ray reacts quickly to arrange to have

the young eaglets saved by staff from the World Bird Sanctuary in a harrowing rescue. The

eaglets were raised by a foster mom and sibling at the World Bird Sanctuary where they were

taught the skills needed for survival in the wild as free birds. This book is about doing the right

thing and working together to have miracles happen.
