Bald Eagles on Deer Carcass


November 17 Email:

On Monday Bruce Delamarter and I were getting ready to leave the Wastewater and the county sheriff told us about a deer carcass and 4 Bald Eagles eating at it east of the WW off Ravenna Road. We got there and found one immature eating and a mature in a tree about 100 yards away.

Great shots, Don -- especially that second photo! I'm assuming the eagles are taking advantage of fresh carrion. Does anyone know of eagles (either Bald or Golden) attacking deer out there?

Jim Zervos and I saw this carcass during Wednesday's CBC. It had several crows on it with a pair of adult Bald Eagles nearby, one of which flew toward the picnic but only to harrass the crows apparently.
