Fresh Roadkill For a Family Reunion

Along Highway 63 I found a fresh road-killed whitetail deer that most of a bald eagle family unit had already found. Young birds, adult birds… there were bald eagles all around. Some stood out in corn stubble not far from the dead animal while others moved to a tree where they appeared to discuss the situation, I suppose concerning my interrupting their meals.

Not too far down the road I photographed a northern harrier dropping down on something that I could not see.
