Eagle Attack!

The action was pretty non-stop when the eagles came in to feed on the roadkill. Full disclosure the roadkill was placed there on a private farm for the birds to feed on. It's being monitored by the state so that it is done properly. Back to the story now. Every couple of minutes one of the eagles decided it wanted what another one was feeding on and something like this would happen. They would fly at each other, one usually chasing off the other and then sometimes the one getting chased off would return the favor. It was pretty evenly matched among most of the 5 eagles except for one very large female who was obviously in charge. These two were about the same size so they had a few disagreements. I had so much fun laying in the blind for a few hours while these gorgeous birds hung out right in front of me in the beautiful falling snow. Seeing them interact this close for such a long time was very special and I will probably never forget this morning.
