Do you know if Bald Eagles pose a threat to adult Eastern turkeys? We've been hunting turkeys for years in a little valley, but since a pair of eagles has nested there, the turkeys don't seem to use the valley. Coincidence?

I doubt that the arrival of the eagles had anything to do with it. Has the habitat changed? How has the weather been? Wet, cold springs really do a number on survival of the polts.
