It is estimated that 3% of U.S. executions in the period from 1890 to 2010 were botched. In the 2014 book, Gruesome Spectacles: Botched Executions and America's Death Penalty, Austin Sarat, a professor of jurisprudence and political science at Amherst College, describes the history of flawed executions in the U.S. during that period.
Unlike some other eagle species, bald eagles rarely take on evasive or dangerous prey on their own. The species mainly target prey which is much smaller than themselves, with most live fish caught weighing 1 to 3 kg (2.2 to 6.6 lb) and most waterbirds preyed weighing 0.2 to 2.7 kg (0.44 to 5.95 lb).
Owls breed before eagles do, so they try to move in before the eagles get there. Great Horned Owls and mice also nest in the lower parts of a big nest made by eagles -- even when the eagles are using it! Because of their size, adult Bald Eagles have very few predators.ald eagles also have a long, heavy yellow bill which is curved for tearing prey. Young eagles are mostly dark. They do not get the white head and tail until they are full grown. Bald Eagles live near water, including lakes, rivers, marshes, bays, and oceans.
