Hi All!

I received this from a good ministerial friend, Col Stringer, as we all know Col has so much knowledge on wildlife having written books etc and his book on Eagles is one of the best I have read. Sadly I should have researched Col's book and not a Christian website on eagles! LOL.

It's good to make sure our info is correct and I so appreciate Col writing. Also i recommend Col's book on manhood - ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Every man and woman should read it.

From Col Stringer...

Hey Amanda, just looked at your blog on eagles...thought you might like to know that it is a myth (perpetuated by many christians) that eagles pluck out all their feathers...not true. They do remove a few problem or old feathers...but never totally remove them all. The bird would die.

Also some preach they smash their beaks on rocks...also a myth. Having studied eagles for 5 years I thought you might like to know this...sadly so much of what some ministers preach about eagles is totally false...which then gets us a bad name with raptor experts.

Blessings,

Col Stringer
