At dawn this morning Mr Meanie - our male bald eagle - eradicated one goose. He proceeded to gorge on it while his mate waited patiently at a safe distance.
After close to an hour of working on the carcass Mr. Meanie decided to share the spoils. They both eventually flew off - greatly overloaded - to the nearest trees on the south shore to digest their breakfast. Now, there are numerous crows, ravens and other small hawks partaking of the remains. Quite the pecking order.
We also had a visit by a flock of trumpeter swans. These arrived at noon.
