Yes there are birds that are capable of bringing down large mammals. the Christian Science Monitor has an exclusive photo of a Golden Eagle being caught on camera attacking a deer in the wild remote area of
Siberia. These rare attacks are never seen in nature and only a trip camera was able to catch this event. Golden Eagles have been known to prey on large animals but catching it on film has proven to be extremely arduous. Deer meat does not make a large part of the Golden Eagles diet and maybe the eagle and its sharp eye spotted an ailing deer that was prime to be picked off eventually by any predator. At one time on the Earth there were huge raptors in the air and on two legs that would bring down and gobble prey more formidable than a deer. This rare glimpse of the hunting technique of a mighty Eagle is extremely cool and with increasing amount of trip cameras put up by naturists all over the world we will catch more unpredictable and rare looks at how the animal kingdom operates. This deer didn't have a chance and I bet it never thought that it would have to worry about being hunted from things in the sky except hunters in helicopters.
