They ALWAYS kips on their backs... ‘ee’s shagged out after a long squawk.
There are several videos of the Bald Eagle on youtube. There have been numerous specials about them as well.
The Bald Eagle is the most glorious of the raptors and a sight to behold.
LMAO!!
Jive eagle would not have sounded right back in the 70s.
One of the precious few things I enjoyed about being stationed at Ft. Riley, KS for three years was the Bald Eagle colony at Milford Lake just northwest of the post. Magnificent creatures.
I remember Johnny Carson’s redneck character Floyd R Turbo was on saying something like “I don’t get the fuss about bald eagles being endangered. If you want to see bald eagles come over to my house, I’ve got ten of them on my living room wall.”
It’s illegal to shoot a robin, for God’s sake. Their are only a few introduced species of bird that can be shot with impunity.
Nextrush is very active in Erie county.
there’s a nesting pair ~three miles from my house in the marsh, if i ever caught somebody messing with them, they’d be buried in it...
Thank You
I have 32 acres in rural KY. I shoot whatever I want. But if they are human I have to be more careful about how I hide the body. And I rarely eat them.
I think it was Montana that had the problem with greenhorns getting lost and needing easy meat. Wildlife is regarded as public property in the US. Land ownership does not confer a right to kill it, wantonly. That was more of a European thing...the King’s forest, and all that. Shoot what you will...you’ll have to answer if caught killing outside the law. . But, I’m sure you know that.
30 replies and yours is the only one for which the odds are high to be the correct observation.
I’m sure there is a lot more concern by state government for a dead eagle than an aborted baby.
Yup. Kill a bird, go to jail. Kill an baby, get a t-shirt. Sounds about right for today’s America.
Ping...
These days it’s a fair bet that more eagles are killed that way than by intention or other types of accidents isn’t it? Another fair bet is that any data on that will be suppressed as much as possible.
Without a doubt. I keep waiting for the Earth to start spinning backwards.
No Sir Officer Smith I saw nothing.
We have more than we need around here so they can have some of ours...
