It’d be pretty hard to let two Bald Eagles – our nation’s bird – drown, I think. I get the ‘nature takes it’s course’, and I’ve done that myself for common prey (squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, very common birds), but I think apex predators are different, and important – although I wouldn’t intervene in every circumstance, especially if it was dangerous.

I do think we, as humans, have strongly intervened with eagles by using DDT and lead shot, so I guess we’re ok poisoning them…but not saving them? Food for thought. https://www.centredaily.com/sports/article176405086.html
