Yeah— they would LOVE them to have a “Stalin” Josef Vissarionovich Jughashvili Georgian who renamed his very small self from his bankrobber days as “Koba” (the Robin Hood like character of the novel The Patricide. He had a short foot (just like Goebbels club foot) and had webbed toes (verified, rejected by the Tsar’s Army because of it, rejected by the Russian Orthodox seminary, also).

A true psychopathic mass murderer). Just ole “Uncle Joe”— like JoeBama only waaaay more devious, and intelligent.

And BTW—the Massa’-choose-its citizen types ought to be asking Sen. Blumenthal WHY he spoke at the annual Communist Party of Connecticut meeting— and then said he HAD NOT— or, didn’t know they were Communists! Absolutely priceless and sick SOB, and really crazy imho. Him and Bernie the “not” Sanders are buddies! In the Commune down for the Struggle. Forward!!

I have lived here in Enfield, NY (Ithaca city of evil adjacent town) for over 40 years and just saw the first eagle here a couple months ago. He flew right across my windshield, I couldn’t have gotten a better look at him. It was just a bald eagle not this fancy schmancy eagle, but WOW! What a site to see. Haven’t seen him since.

It was maybe 1/2 a mile from my house.

Could happen— don’t doubt it a bit, they are something else. Had one that got taken out by a 10’ Praying Mantis hiding on a feeder (that was a real shock, the thing eating the little bird’s guts still hanging on to the feeder).

Oil derricks in the Gulf put out feeders and they get swarmed— so there is that “assist” that didn’t used to happen. Over history— they follow the flowers and the bugs down the coast of Mexico as the seasonal tilt happens.

OMG! I live on a lake in Hopkinton, (Central) MA. I see bald eagles regularly. I could swear I saw this one last weekend. Much larger than the normal eagles I usually see.

Will have to keep my eyes peeled now.

I'm from Holliston and fished Whitehall many a time over the years. I'm living on lake in TN now.

Bald Eagles are regular site in Pepperell, MA on the Nashua River.

Bald Eagles and Perrigrin Falcons live in and around downtown Manchester, NH. There is a pair of falcons that nest in one of the taller buildings. They have a web cam.

Really? A ten feet long mantis? That sounds like something from the 1950s monster movies of big ants, crabs, etc.

here ya go SHIFT on ‘ yields “. Inches but yeah- that would have changed the drive in to the farm that day. Mantis have a way of cocking their targeting pod head that creates the impression they are “sizing” up whether they can take one out. An instinctive cocking of the head (which sci fi movies have used a lot— particularly Spielberg- he with the impatient tapping of a velociraptor’s ripping claw. Cute mind game for the audience).
