[Mnbird] Eagle

[DONALD GRUSSING Owner]

What's more important, the bird or the photo? 


A bald eagle slowed traffic on Lake St. Extension in Minnetonka yesterday as it waited in a tree for the opportunity to scavenge a road killed cottontail. One man pulled to the side of the road, got out of his Buick and walked to a few locations taking photo after photo of the bird. He was there a long time. I live there, so I opened the door and told him that his presence was keeping the eagle from dropping to the road and picking up the food source. I figured either the eagle needs it, or eaglets in the nest. 


The guy looked at me and said," I don't want it to leave the tree." He was more interested in his pictures than the welfare of the eagle. 
The bird flew off. It was about 7:20 pm. Later that evening the bunny was gone. Don't know if the eagle came back or some coyote picked it up. Enclosed is a photo my neighbor took. He was only outside a few minutes to get this shot.
