A note from Steve Debus Regards Shirley Cook —– Original Message —– From: “Steve Debus” <sdebus@une.edu.au> To: “Shirley Cook” <shirleycook@skymesh.com.au> Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2014 6:04 PM Subject: RE: [Birding-Aus] A Question about Eagles Hi Shirley, Oh dear, where do these myths come from? Whimsical baloney, of course (no offence intended to Mark or others). I think one secondary source of this myth was a religious book ‘on Eagles Wings’, reviewed in Boobook 24(1), May 2006. That review scotched many such myths, and that issue of Boobook is available as free download from the BirdLife website via Special Interest Groups/Australasian Raptor Association (as are all issues 2004 to 2 years past, were readers might find much of interest about raptors).
