      yes they were focusing on the male eagle that was the decoy, funny thing was that the eagles decoyed them as well, while female eagle made the kill

      10 per week is a balance.. 1.4 or 1.5 round off per day... it is ok!! , yes the camera man also got fooled byt eh mate,, as pointed out by Ry Zeus.. I gave him a thumbs up too. and am making a C.C to Ry Zeus..

    This bird is amazing! I've never seen anything like it. It did a flip while it was in the air and never lost balance. The dives looked incredibly cool. And even more impressive, it looked upwards while it flying. Man I wish I could fly.
