We dont have many around here, in fact seeing one is usually followed by mentioning it to everybody you see that day. I did see one feeding on a dead deer (which had been poached!) about a 1/4 mile from my property.

Now get this, a week ago sunday, some mental midget shot a mature bald eagle perched in a tree about 15 miles NE of my house. The eagles talons were locked on the branch, and it simply swung upside down and hung there dead. The USFWS, IA DNR, and our local Sheriff' s Office are investigating. A $5,000 reward has been issued. For the life of me, I simply cannot fathom why anyone would be ignorant enough to even think of doing this, especially in todays world political climate. I just PRAAAAY we catch this moron...
