Loon Heart Shots Eagle!

"Sure enough, the pathologist who examined the eagle and loon chick in the lab, called me shortly afterward to tell me it indeed looked as though the loon was the culprit in this eagle’s death. The size of the puncture wound was similar to the size of a loon’s bill, and it extended straight to the heart which likely led to a quick death. Not only that, but the loon chick had puncture marks consistent with the spacing of eagle talons. There were no witnesses of what transpired. Nat Woodruff found the dead eagle floating face-down at 6am, and appropriately left it there while he contacted the Warden Service. Warden Wykes first came upon the dead loon chick and then the eagle. The only other information we know is that a woman in a nearby cabin had heard a “hullabaloo” the previous night, consistent with agitated loons. You can use your imagination to formulate how this all played out on Highland Lake that late July evening.”
