Bald eagles kill 54 lambs on Idaho farm

An Idaho farmer has lost 54 of his lambs in a series of bald eagle attacks that began in April, a report said.

Rocky Matthews, who owns a farm near Murtaugh Lake, didn’t know what was killing his lambs until he witnessed one of the eagles attack his flock, he told the Times-News. Matthews told the newspaper that eagles have nested on his farm for over 20 years, but have never launched attacks on his animals.
