Hi all:
=20
I wrote a short blip in my column about concerns of the eagle young and non=
e breeders congregating and virtually wiping out seabird populations from c=
ertain islands.  This was after the great interview by Blake Maybank on the=
 topic of feeding bald eagles at the chicken farms and on the basis of feed=
back and response generated on the top. =20
=20
Anyhow=2C this is one response that I received=2C which might be of interes=
t.  I don't know other than word of mouth whether it is factual=2C but some=
 of the birders in Cape Breton might be able to respond to it. Or someone i=
n the Dept. of Fisheries might want to address the topic.  =20
=20
"Also the the trout and salmon farms are a bonanza for the above=2CI counte=
d 50+ mature birds this summer past in Whycocomag? Bay. That's just one sma=
ll operation.The eagles =2Cof course=2Cprovide service by eating all the de=
ad fish that are tossed out of the pens on a daily basis.There more birds t=
han trees to hold them.They walked on the shoreline.Too fat to fly. "
=20
I'm assuming this refers to Whycocomagh=2C Cape Breton. =20
