Hi everyone,
Thank you to Geoffrey for confirming that my Wotsit from earlier in the day was
a Little Eagle. That was my first thought but I've only ever seen them from
such a long way away that I second guessed myself into oblivion.
The behaviour that my friend described still has me a little perplexed though.
According to Mr. Dabb, the bird was young bird. It dived at my friend a few
times, and tried to take off with a large fence post that it dropped both times
shortly after liftoff. It was with one other bird. So was it playing? Nesting
already seems unlikely.
Anyone ever seen a little eagle exhibiting similarly?
Thanks!
Alberta.
