Last winter there was a thread on the forum about a deer carcass on the ice near the mouth of Small's Cove. It was being visited daily by a pair of full grown Bald Eagles. They were happily enjoying their meals until a beautiful Golden Eagle came along and took possession of the carcass. Seeing the two birds side by side (well, almost) you could see the Golden was much larger, leading me to believe the Golden was a female. (With birds of prey, the female is generally larger.) The Bald Eagles tried to force her off but she took no guff from them and rolled on her back with talons up and ready to defend the carcass. The Bald Eagles backed off and waited until she finished. It was an amazing few days as the carcass disappeared.
And some people wonder what we do up here all winter!
The ice is full of interesting wildlife adventures!
