Hi. This is Daniel Bastaja. There is a Great Blue Heron study group
somewhere on the coast that is documenting Bald Eagle attacks on Great
Blue Herons. I saw this item on the West Kootenay, B.C. chat group and
thought they might be interested in it..but wouldn't ya know it.I lost
the fellows name and e-mail address. I thought I would post the report
on the coastal chat groups in the chance that somebody knows the people
that are studying the herons and can forward it to them. Dirk has given
permission to forward his posting to anybody. Here is his original
posting:

Regards,
Daniel Bastaja
