"It was the worst thing I have ever seen," said Caroline Gerace Martinsen, who witnessed the event and posted her sighting on Facebook. "I hope I never see anything like that ever again."

Poor lady has lived a very sheltered life. Nature don't play.

Another opportunity to post my favorite "Eagle Attacks Human" photo -- from a recent Major League Baseball game:

I’m assuming the attacking eagle works for Planned Parenthood.

I don’t get what the invading female eagle wanted to do.
Did she want that nest for herself, or did she want to devour the eaglets for a meal? At first, I thought she wanted to drive the Mother Eagle out of the nest and take her place, take her mate too. Nature is a mystery. Each animal has it’s own rules.

man was hunting loons, which if course is illegal

game warden stopped him and told him it was illegal

man said “Sorry- i didn’t know, I’ve been eating loons for years”

Warden says “I’ll give you a warning this time- just don’t do it again”

Then says to the man “What do loon taste like anyways?”

Man says “Meh- they aren’t too bad- about the same as golden eagles”

Go to an abortion clinic instead- oh wait- those are just humans being murdered by other humans- how are you about that?

So this woman is a bird-watcher and has never seen anything this brutal before? Never saw a crow grab chicks out of the nest of another bird and kill them? Never saw two birds fight to the death? I’m not a bird-watcher and I’ve seen those things so this woman must be pretty sheltered. Nature is savage. Its why we build civilization to protect ourselves from it.

We had something similar this year in the Twin Cities.

Our “Eagle Cam” nest produced 3 eggs, none of which hatched.

Partly because of the weather and partly due to predation from raccoons, as well as juvenile eagles.

Happens everyday everywhere animals are. It’s called the food chain.

Several years ago while I was watching a squirrel jump from tree limb to tree limb in my back yard a hawk appeared and snatched it of mid-air. The last thing I saw was the squirrel’s tail flapping in the wind as the hawk took it home.

Magnificent experience.

Years ago this pair of mocking birds would not leave my cat alone. Every time he walked across the yard they would harass him non-stop. He could not catch them so he found their nest and ate the babies. I wanted to stop it but my neighbor lady told me to let nature take it’s course.
