Years ago as a child, I was squirrel hunting and this huge bird came swooping down (I could hear the air-flowing across its wings) landed in an oak. On a limb a least 4 inches in diameter
It was heavy enough to make the limb move. (enough to make the bird flap it wings to regain balance) Sitting there I felt more like prey than a hunter. I was scared to shoot it, for fear I might just make it mad. I left the area walking backwards till I was out of sight of the bird. (It was not scared) On the show they interviewed a guy who had been picked-up about 1 foot off the ground as a child in IL. He was about 60 lbs. at the time. His Mom seen the bird also………..
Read the question please “large unknown” I knew when I answered the Judas Rabbi question this was going to happen.
It was not flapping its wings coming in to land……..”could hear air flowing though that noise is what got my attention”
Found a bird in Africa that ate Primates
estimated to 30lbs. in weight(the primate not the bird) from bones below this Eagles nest.
