This was the 2nd edit for this piece. The producer felt the first cut was too artsy. I think I would like to see that too. While the name “American Bald Eagle” isn’t accurate it is very much accepted, as sub species or geographic variations within the species do occur (i.e. Canadian Bald Eagle). Believe me that I am one of the first to pooh-pooh the “bad human” perspective It IS an unfortunate fact that as scavangers eagles do ingest lead and do in fact die from it. Nearly EVERY California Condor has been taken into captivity and treated for lead poisoning at some point. Sorry to offend, but this is fact.

Please confirm the following. Eagles in the wild at age 40 decide to either live or die. The decision to live is followed by a supposed transformation that takes about 5 months in which the eagle rips off its beak- waits for it to regrow. Then with the new beak rips off its talons- waits for these to regrow. Then when these grow in – rips off all of its feathers. Once these grow in – the transformation is complete and the eagle lives another 30 years. I can’t believe this. But I need an expert to confirm that this is not true.

Thanks for this awesome program on eagles especially since you featured my Grandfather’s Minnesota farm along the Mississippi River. They are awesome birds!
