However, both Bald and Golden Eagles winter here, too--and they subsist primarily on road kill and other carrion.
Nothing but a buzzard with a feathered head.
Killed a coyote right at daylight one morning 4 or 5 years ago. By noon a pair bald eagles were picking at him. Stinkin bastards.
I agree with you on bald eagles, but golden are a whole 'nother thing. Studies have shown goldens are the number one predator on Dall's sheep lambs.
I am wondering how many whitetail fawns and full grown turkey hens these Bald Eagles are killing.
Personally not a fan of birds of prey.
Not sure why we control four legged predators but we just let the predators in the sky have a free pass.
