About a month ago we were witness to one of those 'can't look away' situations when an eagle grabbed a seagull out of the air and proceeded to pluck it and eat it in a neighbour's tree while it was still flopping about.<br /><br />Re: songbirds. A lot of songbirds around Swan Lake are being decimated by domestic cats. A couple of years ago the TC reported that one species of ground bird in the area had been hunted out of existence.<br /><br />Nature has a way of getting even though -- we also have a lot of missing cat posters in our neighbourhood and I suspect more than a few have wound up as a meal for the big eagles that fly over the lake.Mike Laplantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06813745494544900779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-36848818751957882242012-02-17T08:58:28.200-08:002012-02-17T08:58:28.200-08:00Very pretty birds!
