I spent several hours at the Wastewater today watching Bald Eagles catch, kill and eat seagulls. There were eleven eagles on the east lagoon at one point. There was one juvenile in particular that was pretty deadly. I saw him capture three seagulls. He would make short work of the gulls and go right back to hunting again. When I left, all but one of the gulls he had attacked had been reduced to a pile of feathers and the lone survivor wasn't going to make it for long. The photos of the hunt are not great; he was pretty far away. The gull that he is chasing in these photos didn't make it.
