Watch: Bald eagle deters New York golfer from finishing round
A New York golfer was aiming for a birdie but got an eagle instead.
A video shows him in the Long Island town of Old Westbury nearly losing his approach shot to a bald eagle sitting perched on the course. The man hit the ball onto the green in a nice approach shot, setting him up well for a relatively short putt. In a stroke of bad luck, the eagle may have thought he was set up well for a quick snack.
An eagle threatened to fly away with a golfer’s ball on Old Westbury, New York.
National Park Week: Explore the natural wonders of Grand Canyon
National Park Week is underway, and the theme this year is National Park Playlist, which celebrates musical connections to national parks and the American story. Each day of National Park Week will have suggestions for things to do designated under a music genre.
