A Bald Eagle and a Deer

[KTM]

I saw a Bald Eagle eating a car kill deer on my way home from work this evening. I just had to stop to take some photos. I'm glad I had my camera with today. This was along a State highway with plenty of traffic. The eagle didn't seem to care one bit that cars were stopping to watch. Enjoy.

Nice photo's. If I'm hungry and eating I don't care that people take pictures either. Of course I never get free meals. :lol:

Wow, what is it with Eagles this year? I saw a link to the following page on another board. Apparently it is a game camera setup over a deer carcass!

Check it out!

Bald Eagles are one of the few birds that really turn my head and make me want to take a closer look. Thanks for sharing.

Raptors are like large cats in my eyes, the shiniest things around. Always gets my attention. Thanks for posting.

All I can think of is Sam the Eagle, from the Muppets....

Thank all for the nice comments. It was quite the sight to see. I took some short video clips as well. I'll try to find a way to upload them so I can post a link. I don't do youtube...

Quarterbore, those trail camera photos are great! Thanks for the link to them.
