Put out hay late yesterday afternoon, Monday. Didn't notice any cows missing or new babies. Had been gone over the weekend. This morning noticed 2 large birds close to something , and a heifer standing over what I assumed was an aborted calf . When I got there 2 Eagles flew up and the heifer just was checking out a newborn calf , half eaten . Do eagles kill newborns, or were they just eating after the calf was dead ? Bald eagles are new to our area and becoming more numerous.
