Birdy blunder

WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — US President Donald Trump has blamed wind turbines for killing iconic American bald eagles in a year’s end social media post that hit on one of his pet peeves.
There were two problems with this latest lament: the picture in his Truth Social post on Tuesday was taken years ago in Israel, and it’s not a bald eagle.
Agence France-Presse reviewed the post, where Trump shared a zoomed-in image of a bird on rocky ground beneath a wind turbine, writing: “Windmills are killing all of our beautiful Bald Eagles!”
The same photo appeared in a 2017 article from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which credited it to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and said the bird was a falcon.
