Eagle takes and then returns golf ball; headline writers everywhere rejoice

October 22, 2014

The problem with a video about an eagle on a golf course is the bad golf puns are inevitable. Come on, an eagle? It's too easy! Make us work for it!

Anyway, here's Part 1 of a two-part nature drama in which an eagle takes a golfer's ball on the 12th green of North Bellingham (Wash.) Golf Course, presumably for good.

What a good eagle! Meanwhile, theories abound on why the eagle took the ball off the green, only to return it.

Attempts to reach the eagle through his publicist were unsuccessful.
