A driver in North Carolina reported to emergency responders that a bald eagle dropped a cat through her windshield, shattering it. The incident occurred around 8:15 a.m. on U.S. Route 74, and the driver was unharmed, although the cat did not survive. A witness corroborated the unusual event, which reflects the predatory nature of bald eagles, despite domestic cats not being common prey. This incident follows a similar event in 2019 when a catfish crashed through a windshield after being dropped by a bird.
