Info from Licensor: "I was heading out to open my chicken coop on 12/5/25 to let my 100 flock roam for the day. I look up to see 3 huge birds circling the coop! I identify them as Bald Eagles so I watch for a few minutes before two lock talons and death spiral out of the sky and hit the ground with a loud thud. I approached them to make sure they were not injured, and especially to make sure they fly away from my chickens! I’m not opening the coop until they were gone for obvious reasons. According to NYS DEC, This was 2 males fighting. The female was in a nearby tree watching the show. What an amazing start to the day!"
