The Bird Nuts Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) I'm thinking young Bald Eagle with a fish in its talons. Edited April 15, 2019 by The Bird Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what was bugging me, but I think it could be looking down (or eating the fish). Edited April 15, 2019 by The Bird Nuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egosnell2002 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yeah, I think the head size is being affected by the angle. Bald for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the job of easterners to turn Bald Eagles, vultures, and European Starlings into Golden Eagles. So just doing my job. Incidentally, we do get a few Golden Eagles through the area. I believe the last one was in January. Also if this sounds a bit loopy, it's because just got out of surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Ooof. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamRHead Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Left-handed right now. With both hands I'm not sure. I think at least three months but maybe longer. In 6 months I can resume all normal activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 But I am on Starling restriction. No Starlings for a full year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
