Field Notes
Description:
Several large brown birds with white heads and yellow feet. No further description of this iconic bird is considered necessary.
Habitat:
Pacific northwest insular maritime ecosystem.
Notes:
Spotted while they were actively feeding on the remains of some salmon. The eagles' competition were crows, at least a dozen of them. How the fish carcasses came to be on the strand is unknown, but the birds collectively "cleaned their plates". Within a half hour of this spotting there was no sign that the fish had ever been there.
