mulegemichael, Thanks for the story. That's one for the books! Not many folks have to make their chicken coops eagle proof. An eagle is an awsome bird, when up close and personal. it's even more impressive.

another bald eagle story...


This happened a few years ago to a buddy of mine just a little ways southeast of us in Minnesota.

It could have been a disaster.

As it was, it was a frightening experience when the small helicopter he was flying collided with a bald eagle 2,000 feet above the Shakopee-Eden Prairie in early July. This is a very popular summerfair area. The eagle crashed through the helicopter’s windshield and slammed into the chest of a passenger.

The baldie took out half of the windshield. Dusty, the pilot, landed the helicopter safely (he flew Cobras in another life) and the passenger wasn’t seriously hurt. The eagle was killed. :rolleyes:

If it had hit the prop or the pilot or the rotor, it could have brought that helicopter down.

Dusty had rented the copter and was giving his girlfriend a ride when the accident occurred. He later weighed the eagle at just under 10 pounds.

The girlfriend decided to date someone else.
.

Here's a far north owl waiting for breakfast.





I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
