Bald eagles at the bird feeder

We keep a couple of bird feeding stations here at Falling Downs. They're quite popular over the winter months, attracting a lot of little stuff that can't be bothered to fly south; chickadees, swallows, sparrows, woodpeckers... but that's nothing compared to what a guy down the road gets at his bird feeder.



Here's a picture from a couple years back.

Bald eagles aren't going to bother with suet and sunflower seeds. Buddy says the secret to attracting the big birds is... animal guts! He's one of the few people locally still running an old-school trap-line, which provides him an ample supply.

He says they're particularly partial to coyote guts.
