I enjoy watching Bald Eagles, they often congregate below the Safe Harbor dam by the dozens to fish. But Ben Franklin wasn't impressed by them; "The Bald Eagle is too lazy to fish for himself; when the Osprey has taken a fish ... the eagle pursues him and takes it away from him. ... Besides he is a rank coward ..." frightened by a kingbird. But the Wild Turkey, Franklin wrote, is "a bird of courage [that] would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British guards, who should presume to invade his farmyard with a red coat on."
Rusty, you forced this old dog to learn some new tricks....figured it out though here it is:
Ha, J-bird I almost did the same thing about four years ago when I saw the first one in my county. Pulled off the side of the state highway by my house like my head was on fire and my $%& was a catchin. Took a bunch of pictures and while I was doing it two other guys asked me to email them the pics. The novelty hasn't worn off yet
. This was taken on a fishing trip in WI.
So did he catch more fish that you? I know some folks in some areas have issues with them. Wildlife is always "neat" until it goes to far. My father thought the otters where "neat" in his pond.....I think he has a little different tune now!Ha, J-bird I almost did the same thing about four years ago when I saw the first one in my county.

of bald eagles, an adult and a juvenile. She (I assume) went to tearing into that hog but would not let the juvenile eat. Then, another eagle, (I assume the male) lit, and they both ate pig. Finally the first one flew off taking the juvenile with her, and the male stayed. Now, this took up a couple hours and I’m taking it all in through binos. The juvenile just sat like a stump during all this. Finally, six more pigs came back, the male looked at them, lifted up and dive bombed them. They scattered like quail and he flew away. I have to think he just did that for fun.
