Is that like seal launching? Cast your beavers upon the water. Thanks for the links. "Glenn Stauffer" writes... Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Bivies/Eagle Diet Paddling does bring one close to things you'd never see otherwise. I was watching some nature flick one day and they showed film of an eagle chasing after an osprey to steal its recent catch. One day, this past summer, I'm out around Wye Island in Maryland. In the sky above me, an eagle was harrassing an osprey carrying a fish. Very cool sight as the eagle slowly circled high above the osprey while that bird kept tightening its circles and looking for a way to dart past. <unsnip> The baldies I saw feeding in the Deer Group often had big (often bigger than them) hawks perched ominously nearby. I figured they were waiting for a bobbled meal. One eagle caught a little fish right in front of me. Took it up on a rock to dine, then took off, leaving it flopping on the rock. Felt bad for it; drowning's no fun (it was too high up for me to help). But I guess getting your soft parts ripped out's no picnic either. I also saw a Bald E. eating kelp on the shore. Roughage I guess. p.s. looking at the subject line, I got an idea for getting rich starting a new fad. I hear they taste a lot like Spotted Owl.
