2 Bald Eagles shot in East Texas

[bossbowman]

Don’t shoot these either but many people think they are seeing bald eagles in east Texas but they are seeing Osprey which can look very similar.

Or a Caracara, but there are some well known bald eagles on lake waco, they're not as rare as they used to be. Still quite the dumbass just to kill something to kill it.

Probably wouldn't be any left. Gone the way of the dodo.

Dang didn't know that many people on here considered them a trash bird. Everytime I see one I am always in awe at how big and beautiful they are.

Go to the Soldotna dump right now and you’d see over 500 eagles… Scavengers… up here the locals call them trash eagles…

My service to our Country is irrelevant in this discussion about a bird.



Happy Thanksgiving Uncle Saggy. Have a great day sir.

Lol. That’s not a “way of thinking”. The post you quoted is a fact.

My goodness. It doesn’t mean I don’t love America, patriotism, freedom, and what the Eagle represents to our Nation. Give me a break.
Eagles don’t really fly around with arrows in their talons draped in a flag.

They do eat dead stuff on the road right next to buzzards through. That image isn’t what many of y’all want to see I suppose. SMH

We have been seeing one Bald Eagle around the house for about 3 weeks now. Odd to see one alone, usually in pairs.

I know an eagle from a osprey from a hawk from a caracara (yes they are here in NE Texas) from a buzzard

Not doubting there are a few that see a large bird and can't ID but pretty sure majority can tell difference in them

I would not shoot an eagle if it had a chicken down in the back yard

Black headed / Mexican buzzards are different. If I had livestock and caught one near calving or kidding stock it would be eliminated

I’m not coming at you in a hostile manner so please don’t take it that way. I’m just curious if it would make a difference if you are a full time rancher watching him kill your $200+ sheep and goat kids?

[Fajkus7]

Unless ypur a sheep rancher

Exactly

You are exactly right, see eagles on dead cows in FL all the time, also live at the deer carcass bone yard. Right beside the buzzards and Cara caras.

Eagles would prefer to steal fish from Ospreys rather than catch their own as well, have seen that hundreds of times on Florida bay.

They are just eagles, not some holier than thou bird just because they were chosen to be one of our nation's symbols. National symbol or not, if they are doing depredation damage to citizens animals, they need to go. There is no shortage of Bald eagles.

And, yes I served proudly in the Army for our country.

We see tons of eagles in Iowa during deer season. They’re always eating the fallen deer that weren’t recovered. We will see dozens at a time.
