The last one is a cheater because someone hit it with their vehicle and it died in my arms...the title says "you had in ... life" so just to be brash...can we count the dead ones too??

Just means I can't vouch for that many LIVE Bald Eagles then...???

OK...OK...We did have a living nesting pair reside just outside the first house we bought. But it was also very common at the Conservation Office where I worked to have people bring in wildlife carcasses of these for possession permits!


Better quit now....hee hee...
