Eagles in Battle: Daring Birds of Prey Across Legends
Ornithologists dispute that eagles attack large animals yet a witnessed clash drove a stag from his herd and killed it. An eagle attacked a Scottish fawn protecting it by its dam. A Boer farmer saw an eagle seize a Kaillr servant's five year old child and shoot the bird as it fell with the child unharmed. Two eagles stalk a covert, driving quarry for a swoop. An eagle pushed a sheep from a precipice to devour it at leisure. These records fuel belief in legends of eagles causing death by dropping objects.
