Bald eagle
BowEd:
Cool....During the winter here any big cottonwoods along a paved road with a road killed deer on the shoulder will have 7 or 8 of these bald eagles waiting for traffic to subside to pick at the deer.
I should of took pictures of that but my hurry to get errands done did'nt allow it.
A friend of mine that runs a body shop out in the country is an advid deer hunter.His boys and himself throw the guts and bones from their deer out in the middle of the stubble field a few blocks from their shop.I counted close to 25 eagles of varying age there one time.
Did that once here too and within a day 3 or 4 eagles were there.
There is a large lake...Lake Rathbun around 15 miles from me.

Probably about 15 years ago now. I trapped raccoon and muskrats.
I put the carcasses out in my field. When the crows find them everything finds them.
One morning I could see something on the carcasses but couldn’t tell what it was. When I got closer I found a bald eagle on the carcass. A large hawk about 10 yards away and a dozen seagulls about 30 yards away.
Was no question about the pecking order

Yep the crows sit on the outskirts till the eagles a are done.
BowEd:
We'd like to locate a red tail nest some time here too.

I was just out front cleaning up a piece of equipment and the resident/local eagle did a low pass overhead. :)
