If I were the eagle Id be aiming for the Magpie,

Eagle can come rid my yard of those garbage monsters anyday. Its hard to see another bird around here for the haze of magpies. And there still " soooooo protected"

Yes and I can certainly send you some, I have never looked into it, and generally am all for saving a species but these birds have been saved and then some. If youve never heard them try and youtube it. They heckle my cats for hours some days. sorry off of this thread.

Awesome pictures, At first I thought you took them yourself, and was gonna say they have got to be the most incredible amateur nature photos.

Regardless of who took them they are very cool.

In the first pic it's almost comical, the look on the fox's face is like he's thinking "man, I can't believe I'm be chased off by a bird!"
But look at the show down in the 2nd pic.

Good Mornin Guys,
Alan Im wondering if the fox gets the attack on the eagle in the last pic ? It looks like neither is going to give up easily !

GOOD EVENING SCOTTY,
If i didnt see the eagles other TALON[hope thats the correct word for claw]in the pic,id swear that bird was flying off with the fox.However id speculate ,the bird came in from behind and is flipping him over.Id really love to know how it turned out.My wager would be for the EAGLE,I THINK IF THE FOX PERSISTS HES GONNA BE LUNCH

Iheard on the radio this morning,that somewhere an eagle went through an auto windsheild.Iheard the passengers evacuated ,because there was one POED bird in side.They said the bird survived.Does anyone know the whole story?

I was gonna say I doubt that would be possible with laminated glass but did a quick Google search and it's all over the place.

Regarding the fox, in the 5th picture it looks like he's trying to "mule kick" the eagle.
