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.

“空中飞鹿”致供电中断

       上周，一只幼鹿被秃鹰丢落在高压电线上，结果造成蒙大拿州西部地区的供电中断。

       路透社报道称，调查停电原因时，线务员被眼前的一幕惊得目瞪口呆——一只幼鹿的尸体挂在两层楼高的电线上。

       后来，房主布里奇跟他们说，那天早上街区停电后，一只秃鹰曾在她院子里的云杉上栖息了约15分钟。她说那只秃鹰很可能是在盘算怎么把猎物弄回来。

       据悉，供电中断了约半小时，30户人家受到影响。
