Eagles

I wish someone would do some more research on Eagles in general. I think they have to be one of the most fascinating birds out there. If a Bald is eating and killing live predators they must be absolutely starving. What they should do is put a Cam in some nests. They usually return every year to the same nest so it couldn't be that hard. Watch what they bring back. I guess we'll never know the real reason why they are killing what they are killing but to see what they bring back would be pretty cool.

They have cameras filming several nests here. That is why people know they are eating chickens. The link the Rooster being eaten in not available. The text about this video reads chicken being brought back to the nest.

Speaking of eagles...In Decorah, Iowa there is a nest with 2 babies and an egg.

Check it out.

I saw the eaglets this evening. So cute.

There is a bird and a rabbit laying next to the nest in Decorah. I have been watching this. Very fascinating.
