Wimpy or not, is a matter of false pride. The bald eagle across much of its
range is primarily a scavenger. Shad are honest, hardworking planktivores
who have to make challenging spawning runs, and usually survive to do it
again. If you've ever hooked one they don't just pop out of the water but
fight for a long time. It's all very American in a good way.
