I use to live in FT. Madison, IA- Lots of Eagles around in the winter on the Mississippi River!
About 15 miles away an eagle took a young girls cat, as they were in the yard,swooped it up inches away from the girl and away her cat went as she was watching- it was in the news and papers all over to watch your pets!
Eagles are beautiful- but are huge- wing spans of 6 feet!
I could lay down and take a nap in one of their nest- they are big enough to take a 8 lb dog very easy!
glad your Babies are fine- know it scared you- and if it came that close- you need to watch your babies- very close!
I would be getting a pen with a cover- that eagle came to close for a reason- in my opinion! And they can swoop down in a fraction of a sec- even if you are right there!
I'd be scared to take my out- but I have seen many- and know what fast hunters they are!And they do look for rabbits, ect-that's what scares me.
Have you had flooding in you area??
Good Luck- and it is a small wonder to have one so close on the 4th of July!
Just want you babies to be safe- and you heart not to be broken!
Be careful!!
