Subject: Re: No sighting Question Bald Eagle Behavior
The photo is from the SATIRICAL Facebook page "Branson Area Breaking News"
and the page description even says they are a "world renowned satirical
news organization..."

While a flock of bald eagles may be a possible true sighting in certain
areas (fishing boats, lakes, rivers, etc.), that particular picture is
fake. A few years ago there were over 100 bald eagles at Springfork Lake
(Pettis County MO) and we got them on a CBC, which was of course a high
count for us!
