Isn't there a way to get rid of it? It's a bit dangerous to have around O-/ Are you living in the countryside?

We do have a strategy in place, however it takes two persons
to contain this animal. They are feisty!!!, and have a lousy attitude!!

Since I cannot afford the equipment that will allow for single handed
capture of these animals, left with but little choice other than, well
need I say more!!

I seem to believe this one to be in search of it's mate, deceased a few
weeks ago.

Great to get Booted Eagle in your garden Okie, I'm :-0

For the ID here, you should all have picked up on the "Landing Lights" obvious in the first pic Okie posted. A great way to ID Booted Eagle in flight. \O

Nan, this year seems especially bad,...drought 'n all!!!

When the heat of the day climaxes, then my feathered
friends start frolicking,...

It's quite a privilege when nature warns!!!,....

Starlings, black caps, doves, 'n all seem to have this
disposition toward snake!! Almost like they become
entertained by slither back.. Quite a remarkable experience!!
