Rabbits scamper into the underbrush, only to encounter a coyote nobody saw standing there. Naturally people question the video’s credibility, especially after that stupid and damaging eagle-snatching-a-toddler hoax by a Canadian college. But this is not always the case. What’s our choice? Here is the video.
Raptors and other predatory birds have largely rebounded, and there seems to be be no shortage of Brown Pelicans, Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles. Rabbits were introduced to the island by guano miners, which turned the previously verdant island into a giant sand dune; almost all vegetation was wiped out. That would have been awful.
Spotting an eagle in Alaska? From the iconic Bald Eagle to the elusive Steller’s Sea-Eagle, the grand White-tailed Eagle, and the noble Golden Eagle, we’ll cover everything you need to know. Bald Eagle Species Name: Haliaeetus leucocephalus. Steller’s Sea-Eagle Species Name: Haliaeetus pelagicus.
But occasionally people see it – especially when it’s a hard-to-miss bird like this Bald Eagle. Within walking distance of her house were a pair of Bald Eagles with two chicks. One morning she discovered the male eagle on the ground, appearing – as you can see from the two photos – unwell.
Many are familiar with dissecting owl pellets, but several birds will caste a pellet including hawks, eagles, gulls, herons and heck, I once witnessed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher hack up a small one. For example, since eagles and hawks tend to rip their prey apart and have stronger digestive acids, their pellets look like wads of fur.

So far, the rabbit book has proved to be the most financially successful. the answer to that is always yes).
Young raptors like the above Bald Eagle chick are a different matter. If you find a young hawk or eagle out of the nest and it is covered in down and is unable to stand on its huge feet, it needs to get back in the nest. Once they are old enough to flop out of the nest, they have no desire to stay there. Owls are a little different.
It is a book with a careful infrastructure, however (even though it doesn’t have an index), with references to one section from another, enabling the curious reader to go down structured rabbit holes, pursuing information on nesting or skeletal systems or feather structure throughout the book. copyright @2020 by David A llen Sibley.
The Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti) is a raptor that I am familiar with. It is a large eagle, only smaller than the Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos). This bird is a rabbit specialist, having evolved in isolation in the Iberian Peninsula.
