This is the final slug of trail camera photos taken over the road killed whitetail that I dragged to this location.
Here's a juvenile and adult bald eagle...
And a couple of adult bald eagles. It is thought that these birds mate for life; although they may switch it up with an alternate if unsuccessful at breeding. A couple of weeks ago Jill took a photo of a couple of adults (these?) along with a juvenile perched in a cottonwood tree on the bank of Silver Creek...
Another photo of a juvenile and adult. We've been witness to regular bald eagle sightings in the last few years. A big improvement over no sightings around here twenty years ago. My conclusion is there may be a nest located in the Brussels-Kolberg area or perhaps along the coast near-by...
Here's a juvenile coming-in for a landing. In the trail camera world an action photo such as this is can be called a Money Shot...
Adult...
Two juveniles sparring over the scraps...
Another Money Shot - a classic image of an adult eagle...
Wile E. Coyote and the resident raccoons most always come sneaking-around after dark...
Last photo to be shared. You can see that the resident scavengers picked the whitetail clean. Nothing but skin and bones remain. This is a great lesson demonstrating the circle of life.
I'm going to editorialize a wee bit. If you have a road killed deer in a ditch close to where you live please slow down give the critters a break. Just last week there was a local news item about an adult eagle that was struck and killed by a motorist as it was scavenging a road killed deer. The person who killed the bird never reported it. That sucks.
