Wow. Adult ones....Maybe not so much? The older ones can get scary huge.
(Sorry for Another Boomer good olde days tale!) Probably why they have "delete" / "ignore" / "block" options for ramblers like me.
When still working.... I would spend lots of days behind the levees on the Mississippi river. Working on the plant site's main river pumps. There is a really large patch of woods that runs parallel between the river and the levee system for miles.
Many times we would be out there working and see a pair of great big Eagles that would get mighty interested in us. There was plenty of wild game in those woods for them to feed on. Matter of fact, in my early years doing shift work, I would knock of at sunrise and go hunting in there for either squirrels, rabbits, doves or woodcock.
Those Eagles would soar and float all around over us for long periods of time as we worked. We always made sure to keep a close eye on those giants. Why call them giants?
Well , because one morning as we drove up to the pumping station, we could not figure out "who is that up there standing by the fence...?" Closer we got we all became speechless. What we thought was a person in the thick fog, ended up being a great big Eagle eating on a racoon it apparently had killed. This thing was so big I know I never would want to get close to one of them. It actually looked like a short human from a distance. I wish back then we had the cell phones like today because I sure would like to have a photo of that bird standing there.
