Eagle Training Ground

Bob will try to get a picture of the Eagle that has either been living in our Spring Creek/Arena area, or is hunting there daily. Our neighbor has caught him on camera, and Bob has watched him hunt a few times, mostly he's after moles or prairie mice.

Often a parent Eagle, or Hawk, will train their young ones up high over our property. A couple of days ago Bob and Elmer watched this Eagle swoop down out of the higher trees in the Creek area and try to take a baby deer in his talons. The baby started screaming and the mom, who was a little ways away, ran after the Eagle and stomped at him repeatedly before taking off with the baby. Baby deer are big! He must have been brave or hungry!
Pictures soon we hope....
