don't know about that they never bother my omestic animals when they come up from the river and hang out in my pond but they do eat a lot of my fish in the pond. in the winter we drop road killed deer on the riverbank and they pick the carcass clean

Around where I live by the Des Moines river there are many. Real neat to watch them dive the waters when it was running and pull up a big fish.

Just a pretty buzzard. Last year I counted 43 in one field scavenging a couple of dead pigs. There's a ton of them around here.

Quite a few of them along the White river here in central Indiana too. I think they make a dent in the young coon.

I wouldn't be to worried about their impact on fish and game. Here in MN we have about as many as any state other than Alaska. When you think of MN and Alaska does anyone associate them with low fishing and hunting success? If there are fewer fish here it would be because of cormorants and overall mismanagement by the DNR. You all down south wait until cormorants get going in your lakes and river systems. You'll be squealing then. Eagles are mostly scavengers, fish that are wounded are easy for them, wounded ducks, sick pigeons, road kills all are on their regular diet. They aren't grabbing live coons and if they are it is likely that it has distemper or is otherwise on its' way down. Red tail hawks do more predation in the woods since they are built for tight flying turns. They do well on squirrels and other small game.

Bein blessed as some of ya'll are to see them daily I tend to think they are more scavanger's than anything if the opportunity is there. I feed them along my lane every winter,their quite fond of coon carcass'. Pretty groovy when ya can trip down the lane & their either chowin or settin in the tree's. I gave'um some fresh the other day & there was two,an adult & a juvenile settin on a limb,by the time I got to the road to turn around & back they was on it & let me go by at 10 yards without gettin nerved up.

Thinkin they appreciate the free meal's at the shelter?


They are one of the few raptor's that really don't effect our other critter's. Primarily fish & carion (sp) as their diet. I would think if they was out poundin bunnies or sumthin they wouldn't stack up by the hundred's along the 'ol mity muddy where the water's open below the dam's now.................

There is a 16 acre lake on my farm that a large numer of snow geese normally stay on for a few weeks this time of year. Yesterday there were four Eagles setting around watching for their next meal. Three years ago the geese, some 6 to 8 thousand were around. Eleven eagles were the most I saw.
