We have several Osprey and a family of Bald eagles (every now and then

have
watched them take ducklings on two occasions, once when we had a family
up
for a BBQ, the kids had just been down feeding a momma duck and her
babies
(which I normally don't allow, since they become a problem) shortly
after
they finished, a Bald eagle came down and snatched up a duckling, off
it
went cheep, cheep... Earlier they thought the eagles were so neat,
after the
snatching, they didn't like eagles anymore. It was pretty funny.


"It was pretty funny".


The death of an animal is 'funny'?


You might want to re-read what he wrote. What was funny was that
the folks watching the eagles thought they were neat until one of them
(the eagles, not the people) snatched a duckling.

So what is your point in joining this thread with that comment?

Chuck Vance (hey, it's not like he advocated that the eagle
practice C'n'R)


"a Bald eagle came down and snatched up a duckling, off it

I guess I just like baby ducks chuck.

....and it's okay to throw a native cutthroat in a pan full of bacon grease
eh? Oh, that's RIGHT, it will make the fishery better to do so....
