I almost got hit by a bass in my back yard. A bald eagle dropped it. I walked away and the eagle came back and got it.
My wife watches the eagle cams every year during hatching season.
Good chance that eagle was heading to the nest with that bass.
When my wife started watching the eagles I warned her of 2 things...data shows that only around 60% of hatchlings survive.
And that the parents are totally indiscriminate with what they catch, kill and bring to the nest for the babies....and that can include domestic animals.
