It does make for great photo ops, and I can only hope that they are not tainted with bird flu or anything else. Some people do see Bald Eagles as being enemies for going after their cats and dogs, which can't be further from the truth (for the most part).

Many were on the ground, but they were interacting constantly in the air, chasing one another for what looked like carcasses or pieces therefrom, and one we got a good look at was a duck. They certainly didn’t catch all those ducks and carry them to a common feeding area, so we wondered what was going on.
