Speaking of birds, a bald eagle swoops down and claws 3 yr old lisa hemm.

She'll need therapy for years...

Stoopid birds.

They have hit our chickens 4 times.. Never managed to actually kill or carry one away. You'd think they'd figure out a bird their size is to heavy.

Eagle Fashion Police, she was asking for it.
Maroon and lime green? Hello?

Wonderful photo though.

What would be an even more interesting photo would be one taken right after the fly by...
DucksNuts • May 2, 2008 7:59 am
Whotf would just stand by, watch and take pics?

Awesome pic....but
Sundae • May 2, 2008 8:09 am
Ducks, are you saying..... shopped?

It was trying to get the diaper off that kid, since obviously the parents haven't gotten around to potty training her yet. . .

Modern day Little Red Riding Hood and the big, bad...Bald Eagle.. :thumb:

Bald eagle? More like BOLD eagle, to imagine it could make off with prey four times its size. Great picture.

Its the new Coppertone Sunscreen label.

I think you are all misinterpreting this photo. The bird is not attacking the kid, the kid is attacking the bird - she stole the bird's fish and is off to the bait shop to hawk [sorry] it for a candy. The bird is merely trying to recover stolen goods.

Maybe its just a well intentioned but misguided Frodo-esque rescue attempt....
monster • May 2, 2008 11:56 pm
shopped. and so badly it doesn't even merit a recipe.....

Am I the only one who noticed that this 'bald' eagle doesn't have the customary white head that real bald eagles have?
Undertoad • May 3, 2008 12:53 am
Now that you've pinned down the date...

It's an immature eagle. They don't have a white head and solid brown body until they are four years old.

They can pick up and carry some heavy things. I have seen them take lambs and cats. Have a look on you tube for the eagle that picks up mountain goats and takes it to its nest or the one that drops them off the cliff to kill it. There is another video that shows one take a sloth straight off a tree and keep flying like it was nothing. Probably different types of eagles but still amazing.

With the price of gas and all I guess they can't afford their own.:headshake

There was an attack on a 13 year old at a ball park recently. Weird. What's going on with these birds?

Now there's a way to save gas! Birds have discovered carpooling.

Darn. I thought you really liked my AH imitation.

I like the photo: redwinged blackbird on a redtailed hawk. I wonder when the redheaded woodpecker and redlegged partridge got their turn to go air surfing.
skysidhe • May 5, 2008 6:01 pm

We were separated at birth...that was the "exact" first reaction I had. :rotflol:
