    Default Eagles

    I’ve lived in southern Greenville county for the better part of 50 years, and have never seen a bald eagle here. Until the last month. I’ve seen three within a ten mile radius of my home. I know raptors migrate through in August and September, just never seen them before.
    I’ve seen several fishing Russell and Clarks Hill never any up this way till now. Anyone else up this way seen any?

    I saw one several years ago on Nash Mill off 418. Saw one in my front yard in Woompston a couple years back. Well, I saw one FROM my front yard, sumbitch was soaring way up at the time.

    I see those things pretty consistently around here.. like not near y'all though. From the lake, and down through the river..

    A few will post up around the lake house, a few years back I was walking back there with my little big buddy, a guy a call for anything I dont feel like doing.. one of my two lake neighbors from Charlotte was asking us to help him with my buddy's skid steer. One of those big bastards came out the tree, not very high up and swooped over him. I thought he was going to die right there on the spot, and I immediately was thinking what I'd do if he shit in his pants. I'd hate for him to die in shame.

    I’ve never seen on in the “upstate”, but I’ve seen plenty around Wateree. Also, once in McClellanville I saw two in one tree. Ironically a buzzard was roosted with them.

    As Tater said, we’ll see one or two occasionally in Williamston around the Big Creek Watershed (better know as the reservoir). Pretty cool when you see them.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Yep, big scavengers. In Canada; between the coyotes, ravens and eagles a kill would be picked clean in 24hrs.
