ent: Friday, August 10, 2012 12:55:31 PM=0ASubject: [NatureNS] Eagles eatin=
g sheep?=0A =0A=0AThere was a CBC news item yesterday about a farmer in Mac=
can complaining that Eagles were attacking and eating his lambs. There are =
"several Eagles' nests" there. I have never heard of Bald Eagles behaving t=
his way, but it reminds me of similar stories years ago regarding Golden Ea=
gles in the English Lake District, where I used to go hiking in my youth. I=
 don't know if that was ever proven. I thought Bald eagles just eat dead ch=
ickens and live fish. Any comments?=0A=0ARichard=0A=0A-- =0A###############=
