Well he probably doesn't care much for that truck anyway, because the only thing that makes bald eagles flock like that is fish guts and used diapers.

They're not endangered but it's still illegal to kill, keep feathers or other body parts, eat or even honk your horn at them.

I think that may be true for most raptors in the US though. I know you can get in trouble just for having hawk feathers and such.

Leading to the slightly ridiculous situation of Native American groups having to register with the Fish and Wildlife Service to get into a queue to be given parts of eagles that are stumbled upon in the wild after dying of natural causes.

Is this picture from Dutch Harbor? I saw a similar post on the Dutch Harbor police blotter.

Unalaska Department of Public Safety: Police Blotter posted:

1155 - Environmental – Two callers reported 20-40 eagles feasting on discarded fish fillets conveniently left in the back of a pickup truck, and the sheer number of eagles made it difficult for other drivers to safely access vehicles parked nearby. An officer scared the eagles away and advised the owner of the pickup to properly dispose of the fish.

It's just sound advice for the bigger birds. I know, at least around here, if you honk at a flock of turkeys instead of running they will mercilessly attack your car.

In this Jan. 11, 2008 photo, eagles await transfer to a warm U.S. Fish and Wildlife warehouse after being rescued from the cold in Kodiak, Alaska. They were among 50 eagles which dove into the back of an uncovered dump truck full of fish guts and became too wet to fly away. (AP Photo/Jay Barrett) #

Basically the guy who wrote the post wasn't as elated as River post-pop, who may have been sexually aroused, and River spazzed out and threw him out. There isn't really more to the story than that.

They also sound more like big dorky songbirds than "eagles." The eagle sound you hear in movies is actually some kind of hawk, if I remember right. (Starts at about the thirty-second mark.)

Very true. There's a fish plant in Sitka I think that dumps the carcasses back into the sound after processing them, and the eagles treat it like an all you can eat buffet.

Red Tail Hawks! They do a lot of hanging on power lines in my area. They also look rather derpy from the front.


But at least they sound tough
