Quite possibly. Or maybe it was a slow learner.

eagle had detected something a little =91off=92 with that cormorant.

Early this afternoon I was scanning the shoreline at Eagle Head Beach in Qu=
een's County. From beside me an adult Bald Eagle chased a large dark bird o=
ut onto the water, forcing it down behind a rocky islet. For two or three m=
inutes nothing happened, then the eagle emerged, dragging a still strugglin=
g cormorant - but swimming, not flying, with such a big bird. It was about =
150m to shore, and the eagle flapped on through the water for several minut=
es, using the avian equivalent of the breast-stroke, until it was able to e=
merge on a rock with the now very dead cormorant, and begin to tear it apar=
t.



I concluded that this was one very hungry eagle - all that effort, swimming=
 no less - for  a meal as appetizing as a cormorant.
