Jim mows the front "Pasture". The grass is growing very fast and the deer are not keeping up. Think I am feeding them too many apples and spoiling their appetite.

Ap 29-06 Bald Eagle
Originally uploaded by sointula.
To hunt fish, the eagle swoops down over the water and snatches the fish out of the water with its talons. They eat by holding the fish in one claw and tearing the flesh with the other.
An eagle's life span is approximately 50 years.
Adult females can have a wingspan of approximately 2.1 meters (7 feet) and can weigh as much as 5.8 kg (12.8 lb). Adult males can have a wingspan of 2 meters (6 feet, 6 inches) and can weigh approximately 4.1 kg (9 lb). They are BIG birds.
