Bald Eagle Feeding

I think I stated my original intent was to go back and catch up on photos I had taken since the Palm Springs trip, but lately I keep happening on unusual photo opportunities that I would prefer to post in a timely fashion.  And this post somewhat continues the Bald eagle theme of my last post.

On March 13, 2016, I was on an outing with a Fir Island destination, but as always I try to maximize photographic opportunities along the way.  It had started to rain just as I left the house but I decided to tour March Point just in case.  While driving along the road I spotted an adult Bald eagle sitting in a march area eating something on the ground.  I wasn’t able to tell definitively what it was, but I could see in a couple of photos what appeared to be a deer carcass.  Here are a few of the photos I took of the eagle savaging the carcass…
