one thing to note though,when you see such a magnificent bird like that is does make it more sad when you realise that a golden eagle was poisened and killed in the borders up in scotland only in october of last year.it was the female i believe of the only breeding pair of the whole borders area Crying or Very sad they had raised one chick last breeding season who still survives Very Happy how could anyone kill such an amazing bird

I wondered where he'd gone...

Did you hear about the 19 bald eagles that died recently:
Sat Jan 12, 1:35 AM ET KODIAK, Alaska - At least 19 bald eagles died Friday after gorging themselves on a truck full of fish waste outside a processing plant.




Fifty or more eagles swarmed into the truck, whose retractable fabric cover was open, after the truck was moved outside the plant, said Brandon Saito, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who coordinated the recovery operation.
The birds became too soiled to fly or clean themselves, and with temperatures in the mid-teens, began to succumb to the cold. Some birds became so weak they sank into the fish slime and were crushed.
The truck's contents had to be dumped onto the floor of the Ocean Beauty Seafoods plant so the birds could be retrieved. Some tried to scatter, but since they couldn't fly, wildlife officers soon retrieved them. The eagles were then cleaned with dish soap in tubs of warm water to remove the oily slime and warm them.
The survivors were taken to a heated fish and wildlife warehouse to recover, though some were in critical condition. Saito said they would be released as soon as they were dry and strong enough.
The dead birds will be shipped to a U.S. Department of Interior clearinghouse, where Native American groups could apply to be given the birds or their feathers for ceremonial purposes.
Requests for interviews from Ocean Beauty officials were not returned.
Commercial fishing is the main industry in Kodiak, a city of about 6,000 on Kodiak Island on the south coast of Alaska.

Good thing they are doing well now and are being considered to be taken off the endangered species list... I think theres almost 8000 breeding pairs now.
