I think that the Eagle Zappers that everyone is talking about were the flying Nazgul. I mean, think about it. Can an unarmed eagle fight a Ringwraith on top of a clawed flying lizard-thingy? Especially if it has a Hobbit on its back? Even if it could, I don't think anyone would want the Eagle to succeed. Think about it. "In place of a Dark Lord you shall have an EAGLE! Not dark, but feathery!" The thought itself is amusing.
