Re: Toptally Awesome Bald Eagle Cam...
Interesting Eagle fact:
Did you know that the Bald eagle does not actually attain it's magnificent white head plumage until they are 4-6 years old?...Therefore they can often be mistaken as being their close cousin the American Gold Eagle,don't feel bad if you've made such a folly,it's quite common amongst amateurs... It's true,now you know...I'll be happy to answer any other birding inquiry's you may have,your pal Moot...

Dear Moot.
How many bald eagles would it take to lift a cow if they all attacked at once? I also apologise if I've already spoilt the thread |

Re: Toptally Awesome Bald Eagle Cam...
Dear Adam,
I do not see that as a likely scenario...however,American cattle ranchers often used to shoot eagles during the first half of the century and even beyond...There was a wildy fictional belief that Eagles could actually pick up calves...Really this was founded in the fact that Eagles could be seen feeding on calf carcasses that had died of natural causes during the spring breeding and roundup season...As a sidebar I witnessed a bald eagle drown in the Pacific Ocean after it picked up a massive sockeye salmon,could not lift it,could not shake talons loose...Additionally I once saw a eagle flying with a captured rattlesnake in it's talons...that was most excellent...

Re: Toptally Awesome Bald Eagle Cam...
Eagles can see small prey from about a mile up with ease...there eyes are actually about the same size as ours...also like their jurrasic ancestors they have a super trick membrane that acts like a squegee or window wiper that moves from side to side like a second eye lid...
