Subject: RE: BS: Live nesting bald eagles feed!
raptors do not eat berries.. but they eat things that eat berries, and bugs, and.... but the concentrations of toxins that they get often travel up the food chain.. and the main effect is not necessarily actual death but inability to hatch a new generation due to brittle egg shells not being able to withstand the weight of the nesting adult .
we have an osprey nest near here that was destroyed by storm and wind damage this winter so they will have to build or re-build.
