Eagles

Bald Eagles are commonly reported by hang glider pilots in the Owens valley along the California/Nevada border to fly far above 15,000 feet. They will circle with hang gliders, sometimes flying only 10' off their wingtip. They will share the same rising thermal for many thousands of feet before the hang glider pilot or the Eagle leaves the thermal and flies on.

I have heard of reports of Bald Eagles being seen over 30,000 feet feet but cannot find primary sources for those reports. Bar Headed Geese have been known to fly at 29,000 feet and there is no reason that a Bald eagle could not fly as high or higher.

Let this be a lesson on "facts" found on the internet. All over the internet you will see claims that the Bald Eagle can only fly up to 10,000 feet which is not even close to being correct. Likewise you will see claims that the pesticide DDT was responsible for the dwindling Bald Eagle population which turns out to be also completely false. Do research. Look for primary resources. Don't believe everything you first, or commonly, hear.

Pretty much all predatory animals have an opportunistic streak in them.

An eagle might have a go at a young stray cub, or try for a snack from the carcass of an already dead wolf. But an adult wolf would be too big for an eagle to Think of it as suitable prey.

A Golden eagle, will eat small mammals like rabbits stoats and hares, but will also eat carrion from larger animals, such as red deer.

Another type of eagle, eats fish like the Stella's fish eagle.

Golden Eagles are considered endangered for a number of reasons. The number of Golden Eagles in the world are dwindling.

I would kill them if I could see them. They have depredated our farmstead, killing many poultry and pet cats. Protection of birds of prey is as senseless as protecting coyotes.

It is foolish and short sited to kill owls. They are natural predators of RODENTS who do far more damage to farmland than owls. Most responsible farmers try to encourage owls because they are such good at hunting rodents.

Some people kill owls because they don't know any better. Some kill them because they want trophies. Some because they don't understand what good pest controls, owls are.

Indiscriminate killing of owls has caused massive problems with unchecked rodent populations in the past.

Young eagles look have boney body structures and have less hair then the fully grown eagles. Some have instances of baldness on the neck and legs.

bad things about eagle?

well...when you take a crap where is the best place to do it, i ask you? your home right? so therefore, how long do you want the eagle to hold its crap? a year perhaps? *smiles* Silibilibili & mcresh

these are really STUPID answers!

The Harpy Eagle. (Harpia harpyjais)

Baby bald eagles start flying when they are from 70 to 92 days old.

The diet of any species depends in large part on which specific species, and what their region is. The Bald Eagle's diet is normally, large fish, rats, hares, other birds, and snakes, but doesn't usually include dogs, though they will eat carrion. While it has been recorded that the Philippine Eagle has taken young pigs, tree monkeys, and small dogs. It is usually considered by experts that the majority of the Philippine Eagle's prey is the flying lemur, when it is available, along with other small mammals, birds, snakes, and lizards. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

There are not many natural predators of eagles. There might be, on rare occasion, instances where a predator might catch an injured bird or surprise one. About the only oganisms that do eat eagles would be scavengers, after the eagle is already dead.

Only if an eel eats veal.

Most mammals use the lungs to breathe, this includes the lion. They use the lungs to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide (CO2).

Nesting, shared by both sexes although mostly by the female, takes 35 days. After the first crack in the shell it takes another 12 - 48 hours. Plus the eggs hatch in the order that they were laid.

Eagles are predators, and feed on other animals. While many animals will eat eggs, there are not animals that deliberately stalk and kill eagles. If an eagle is injured or sick, there are many small predators that would eat an eagle that could not defend itself, such as weasels, raccoons, fox, possums, wolverines, etc.

The large raptors such as eagles and hawks are the birds that live in eyries. An eyrie is defined as the nest of an eagle or other bird of prey.

Look at the question. If you can prove it to be true it is a fact. If you THINK it that makes it an opinion.

The normal clutch is two eggs for this species, and that is a proven scientific fact.

Normally yes. It preys upon smaller birds/mammals which are mainly primary consumers such as rabbits and sparrows. In the case of the rabbit the eagle is always the secondary consumer as the rabbit eats grass which is a producer as it makes its own food from the sun. However, if the eagle preys upon creatures like ferrets or mink then it becomes a quaternerary consumer as these examples are tertiary consumers as they prey upon rabbits and other small mammals. Hope this helps.
Yes.

maybe. not many birds can kill a fully grown experienced house/wild/feral cat. an eagle will but any owl including snowy owl wont usually attack a cat if smaller prey is also in the area. if not they might but in turn the cat may do the same. i know this because my cat stalked a fully grown barn owl and killed it by going for the jugular.

According to the "International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources" (IUCN). The Bald Eagle as been placed on the "least concern" (LC) list. Before 2001, the LC category was a sub-category of "Lower Risk."

It is fully protected by law.
