A deer fawn dropped by a bald eagle onto a high-voltage line caused a power outage last week in western Montana, Reuters reported.

Linemen investigating the cause of the outage couldn't believe their eyes when they found a fawn carcass draped over electric wires more than two stories high.

They blamed the eagle after homeowner Lee Bridges reported that one of the birds had spent 15 minutes perched in a spruce in her yard just after the neighborhood lost electricity. She said the eagle had likely been plotting how to retrieve its prey.

The outage lasted roughly half an hour and affected about 30 homes.

“空中飛鹿”致供電中斷

?????? 上周，一只幼鹿被禿鷹丟落在高壓電線上，結(jié)果造成蒙大拿州西部地區(qū)的供電中斷。

?????? 路透社報道稱，調(diào)查停電原因時，線務(wù)員被眼前的一幕驚得目瞪口呆——一只幼鹿的尸體掛在兩層樓高的電線上。

?????? 后來，房主布里奇跟他們說，那天早上街區(qū)停電后，一只禿鷹曾在她院子里的云杉上棲息了約15分鐘。她說那只禿鷹很可能是在盤算怎么把獵物弄回來。

?????? 據(jù)悉，供電中斷了約半小時，30戶人家受到影響。
