Default Playing Chicken With The Birds

I've also seen Bald Eagles dive at me with talons out while sharing a thermal. Sort of scary when you realize how much these bird weigh.


Eagles attack mostly around May when gliders are too close to their occupied nest. Apart for protection of their nest, they don't attack.
