A power outage in Montana over the weekend was caused when a cute little baby deer, who probably shouldn't have been wearing such a delicious meat suit if it didn't want to get into this kind of trouble, was dropped onto a power line. The culprit? Not sure, but how about that eagle with a table cloth tied around his neck over there?
[A Northwestern Energy spokesman] said linemen investigating the cause of the outage in a rural neighborhood of East Missoula couldn't believe their eyes when they found the carcass of the fawn draped over electric wires more than two stories high.
Workers blamed the eagle after homeowner Lee Bridges reported that one of the birds had spent 15 minutes perched in a spruce in her yard that morning just after the neighborhood lost electricity.
When Northwestern crews arrived, Bridges approached a repairman to learn what caused the outage.
"He pointed up to the sky and said, 'There's your problem -- a flying deer,'" said Bridges. ()
Haha, good old Lee Bridges, shooting straight and tellin 'er like it is.
"She said the eagle, one of a family nesting on the nearby Clark Fork River, had likely been plotting how to retrieve what remained of its prey."
Feels bad to the be that eagle though sometimes, yo. I was at a barbecue earlier and I spilled a couple lumpy chunks of potato salad off an overloaded paper plate onto my tits, so I know exactly how this feels.
