Man Forced to Apologize to Bird
When an eagle tried to snatch the smallmouth bass he had hooked, Josh Williams attempted to scare off the opportunistic bird by tossing stones at it. Unfortunately this constituted harassing "an endangered or threatened species without a permit from the Secretary of the Department of the Interior" — and Williams was caught in the act by a Fish and Wildlife Service officer.
For this crime, Williams was sentenced by a judge to apologize to the eagle.
Let's hope that this miscreant has learned his lesson, and that next time he will obtain the relevant permit from Washington before shooing any birds.

I suspect this puppy has an apology due to him as well.

Um, the ecoEnquirer website appears to be a tongue-in-cheek conspiracy website, and a hilarious one at that. Most of the stories are just kooky enough to be believable by our kooks on the left, but some are more obvious, like this one:

Moonbattery stands by the story. It is fake but accurate.
