Yup.

Two years ago or so I was going down the hill towards the valley and had to swerve in the road to avoid hitting an eagle doing that. He was so big it took like 6 steps to get off the ground!

And when I mentioned it here there were those who insisted “eagles don’t eat dead animals, they’re hunters...” yada yada...

Someone should tell the eagles!

Well I guess the eagle could have been driving the car which ran over the possum.

My parents took some blurry pictures of an eagle eating the ass end of a deer that had fallen head first through the ice on a lake and drowned. They will eat anything.

I have a pair of nesting Bald Eagles near me. Last winter I spotted them flying over... as I stood in my driveway talking to the neighbor, who had told me 2 minutes earlier that there are bald eagles nesting behind his house.

The next week I went outside and saw one of them again, swooping around the front of the house, when I noticed 2 girls out standing on the bridge over the creek. I turns out they saw it on the frozen creek and turned their car around to look and the bird tried to carry off a dead beaver carcass but it was too heavy and dropped it back down on the frozen over creek.
