As you probably know, we have had close looks at some of the less joyful reality through the Eagle Cam here in N Ft Myers this year. And believe me some adults are not as mature about it all as that young lad.

A scene similar, plays out weekly in my backyard, with the Cooper's nabbing a song bird. They rarely fly off, but eat it right on the spot.
