Comment on Eating the Birds of America: Audubon's Culinary Reviews of America's Birdsparent

Comments

I'm skeptical. Eagles have well-worked muscles, which are usually tough. And they're carrion eaters, which are rarely delicious.

I haven't tried one, of course, so perhaps reality differs from theory. But I wonder if somebody's not telling the truth here (him, or his cook).

Lots of eagles eat freshly caught fish, not carrion

True. In Alaska, bald eagles swarm fish boats the way seagulls will swarm your picnic at the beach. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLMa1DO-x5g

Great video!

I've been lucky enough to see White Tailed Eagles in Norway, and they too will follow boats that have fish. Although I don't think there are enough eagles for a swarm. There is a White Tailed Eagle in Poole Harbour (near to where I live on the UK sough coast), and he also only eats fish.
