NYLefty Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 American Eagles, yepper. The lefties love em and want them protected, bla bla bla. And the Righties love em because of their symbolic meaning. But in reality it's just a stupid "Bird" no different than a turkey buzzard or seagull, just less of em. I see em up here in the Hudson Valley NY eating rotted road kill. Glorious ,Eh? Quote

herbie Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 A friend from southern California visited once and I took him and his 8 and 10 yr old boys out fishing. They were amazed, they'd never seen so many eagles in one place. One even snagged a fish as the kid was reeling it in. Heard many tales from people here about eagles snatching cats, goats and chihuahuas out of their backyards. I believe them as much as their tales about their F350 4x4s that get 30 mpg.... Quote

herbie Posted October 12, 2023 Report Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) The kids were used to fishing with 2000 others at Catholic Summer Camp in 80 degree water for the one fish left alive in there. They were shocked by all the wildlife that lived where the ground wasn't solid cement... Edited October 12, 2023 by herbie Quote

Eagles definitely do that. I have a buddy who raises chihuahuas and it was a very real problem -they had to do overhead wires with flags to prevent it. The chicken farmer down the way has the same problem. Eagles are hardwired to go after small game like that. Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
