Towing Eagle Etc.
On November 7, 2007 there was a South bound BE that appeared to have something attached to his legs, although it was hard to see and harder to photograph.
The Eagle was chased by ravens:
Sat in a tree for a while, was harassed some more and then took off South:
You might be able to see something attached to his legs or tail - legs I'm pretty sure. Probably not a tag. Maybe food? Maybe tangled in something?
Nevertheless, the BE continued South over the South Shenandoah Valley:
And thereby got counted.
Which reminds me, earlier this year I saw this Harrier doing leg exercises:
And this Peregrine carrying something or having some sort of disease:
Any ideas?
