Donna Crossland From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] = On Behalf Of Eric Mills Sent: February-19-17 8:21 PM To: Nature NS Cc: Anne Mills Subject: [NatureNS] Bald Eagle 1, Cormorant 0 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. Eric L.
