Show EAGLE MOTHER FIGHTS MAM Huge Bird Battles Defending Young Until Crippled by the Most Severe Se-vere Clubbing. Oroville, Cal. Deputy Sheriff Alvin Faul had a thrilling experience with a huge eagle near Stirling City when he captured the bird's fledgeling. Faul was compelled to beat back the mother moth-er bird with a club. Faul was driving along in his auto from this city and noticed the bird circling cir-cling around its nest in a tall pine. He decided to make a try for the young bird. As he approached the nest the big bird rushed him and he had to break off a rotten bough and use it as a club to protect himself. He struck the bird several times and wounded it so it could not fly. He brought the eaglet, which is about the size of a chicken, back to this city, and now has it in captivity. |
