Kidding aside, 'bejesus' is just a version of 'by Jesus', so could be interpreted as scared enough to utter an oath where normally one would be more verbally circumspect.

I shall continue to use it judiciously, however, since 'by Thor!!' isn't really a regular part of my vocabulary.

According to a couple of eagle sites I looked at, eagles cannot carry more than four or five pounds, but will sometimes try.

A few years ago, out solo camping, I heard an angry scream and looked up in time to see an eagle, and below it, something falling. Further up the trail, and just off to the side, I found a very dead and broken-boned half grown rabbit. So even three or four pounds may be too much sometimes for a long carry.
