"REMAINS OF THE DUCK"
American Bald Eagle (Mature) - 2 Photos
It may have been overcast and cold but it appears this American Bald Eagle had almost completed its main entree.
In Calgary in late Autumn & Winter, particularly along the Bow River, American Bald Eagles (of all ages) migrate from the northern regions to overwinter and partake of the food sources that the river provides. As it never completely freezes, fish and non-migrating waterfowl are aplenty (and anything else that may come ashore).
Being opportunist birds of prey, whether it be fish or fowl, feathered or furred, living or non-living, a meal is a meal Let's hear it for the "clean-up" crews that perform a vital function that maintains the river's healthy ecosystem.
