Default Bald Eagle takes down $1000 Drone

https://youtu.be/0C80-3n6YJY

Michigan DNR Drone Pilot was surveying a lake shoreline checking soil erosion when his signal got weak. He ordered a recall, the drone began to return then the pilot got a spin warning then loss of signal. Witnesses said a Bald Eagle dove onto and attacked the drone which costs $950. It went down in 4ft of very dark water. DNR personal shuffled along in soft mud trying to find it with no luck. Too bad there's no one to paint a "kill" on the Eagle.
