An American Indian man who shot a bald eagle on a Wyoming Indian reservation has been charged under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. Winslow Friday, who says he shot the bird for use in a Northern Arapaho Indian religious ceremony, could face a $100,000 fine and up to a year in prison if convicted, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday. Friday, an oil-field worker, argues that the shooting should be protected his religious freedom.

They are so amazing! I had an American Bald Eagle land in my back yard (a stone's throw from the D.C. beltway!) a couple years ago. I had the same reaction. It was holding a large gold koi in its beak, obviously pilfered from someone's water garden.
Spotted owl, hmm and all these years I've just been using those and plastic bags for wiping to keep the tree-huggers happy... LOL
My brother-in-law spent some time in Oregon when he was younger (let's just say that was a long time ago!) Like me, he was an avid fisherman.
He related a story where he was fishing on a lake, and he saw the most amazing sight.
It seems a fish, a ways away from his boat, had just started to break water, when all of a sudden, seemingly out of nowhere, a good sized hawk screamed in an caught the fish in it's talons.
But that wasn't the half of it.
As soon as the hawk got the fish, a much bigger fish broke water at the same place, and caught the hawk, dragging it down underwater with him.
My brother-in-law said that was the last he saw of all 3.
He said it was the greatest thing he ever saw.
CA....
That red fox gives new meaning to the phrase "having your @$$ handed to you."
My son and I sat there stunned watching and at the very last second the duckling plunged under the water and escaped. It was amazing and I was relieved because I think our being there got the small duck separated. The duck made it to shore where the others where and the Eagle watched for about 15 minutes from the other shore before it went after some fish.
As far as I know, an American Indians would never intentionally kill an eagle. The eagle is a sacred creature to them.
I vote coyote. Looks a little too heavy in the body for a fox. Plus the head looks too small in proportion to the body. A fox, at least in Missouri, is about like a pipe cleaner with a fluffy coat of hair.
Oh, dear! Religion, again!
It's really nice out that way. We're in northern Passaic. A few "Passaic eagles" around, but not many! I was tickled when I woke up at 2 a.m. one morning to the sound of an owl hooting just outside my window.
I tell people not to judge NJ based on landing at Newark Liberty. There is so much beauty and history here. I've gotten attached to this place after moving here almost nine years ago.
Looks like a coyote.
My bad. It is a fox. A very big fox.
Wow that a really cool photo
I think your right it is a fox, but I doubt even a big eagle like that could carry it away. It looks more like a fight over the carrion.
