Golden Eagle Attacks Deer, A Photo Of An Epic Confrontation : The Two-Way : NPR

Golden Eagle Attacks Deer, A Photo Of An Epic Confrontation : The Two-Way : NPR

For decades, circumstantial evidence has shown that golden eagles do indeed attack large mammals like deer and even bear cubs.

But in a paper published Monday in the Journal of Raptor Research, Linda Kerley of the Zoological Society of London and Jonathan Slaght of the Wildlife Conservation Society unveiled stunning images of an adult golden eagle attacking and killing a young sika deer, weighing 88 to 100 pounds.

The images were captured by a camera trap the researchers set up to study Siberian tigers in the Russian Far East.

Instead, the cameras captured what the authors of the paper say may be the first "documentation" of such an attack.

Swimmers and their pets are being advised to avoid shoreline areas of Cazenovia Lake where blue-green algae blooms are visible.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae blooms in the lake, according to its website.

Not all shoreline areas area affected; there are patches here and there and they can move from day to day, said Cazenovia Town Councilor Liz Moran, who runs Ecological LLC, a water quality consulting firm. People and their pets should avoid areas of discolored water or surface scum.

The DEC says these blooms can be harmful to people and animals when they come into contact with them. They can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and skin or throat irritation.
