Very sad especially if they were poisoned by someone. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

If someone deliberately poisoned these magnificent birds – they need to be strung up by their _____ (fill in the blank) TAZ

I never tire of seeing bald eagles flying around here on sunny winter days. In Alaska they are as common as seagulls.

They are! I spent a month in Sitka, Alaska. Before I arrived I asked a friend if he saw any bald eagles. He said they're as common as New Yauk pigeons! They are something else to watch. I hope this isn't a case of intentional poisoning. If it was, I agree with TAZ, they need to be strung up.

Or see one of there nests, they keep using the same one adding to it and often break part of the tree. 5 or 6' in diameter.

There was one in my back yard last year eating the carcass of a dead groundhog that was killed when the farmer plowed the field behind me. HUGE birds.

A few years back Karen and I were fishing a remote lake in the Adirondacks...in addition to the otters we had a bald eagle as a visitor. He was high up on a dead Spruce with a commanding view of his world.

Doesn't get any better than that! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

THAT AIN'T RIGHT! outside of the U.S. we have one of the largest populations of bald eagles in the world up here in Newfoundland, very cool bird. As in U.S., they are HEAVILY protected here.
