Bald Eagles

[ricky racer]

I had an opossum make the mistake of entering my barn last week. I took his corpse out into the field about 50 yards from our back yard. Today we had 2 immature Bald Eagles feeding on it.
About a month ago, I had another opossum as well as a raccoon make the same mistake and did the same with their corpses. We had a couple immature Bald Eagles as well as a mature one stop by for lunch.



Edit: A third one, this one mature, showed up shortly after I made this post.

I had the same thing happen this past summer. I was feeding the buzzards, mostly raccoons with the occasional possum. I looked back in the field to see how many buzzards I had attracted and one of them had a beautiful white head. Buzzards want nothing to do with eagles so they had to eat later. Eagles have been in the area for several years but we don’t often see them at our place.
