Reverse Stand Off

Last summer I happened apon three eagles and some crows.  This was one of the shots. I may have shown another at the time.

I wonder what the eagles were hunting
Mary MacADNski: There was a dead coyote on the road. They were on it when I came.
They seem to be getting along, nice shot Mary
Mary MacADNski: They are waiting for me to leave so that they can go back to the dead coyote on the road.
How lovely to walk for fun and see sights like this.
Mary MacADNski: I was driving home from work. Don't get ou on many walks these days.

it is hard to see how he looks...
Mary MacADNski: I got other shots.
What type of Eagle is it Mary, it has a wicked curved beak.
Mary MacADNski: This is a bald eagle, the symbol of the USA.
Is this a conman sight for you Mary, or did you have a lovely opportunity to get this image smile
Mary MacADNski: Crows and ravens I see every day and eagles are plentiful but this was unique. There were two more eagles involved and they were having a meal of roadkill. I was coming home from work. They flew into the adjacent field when my car came near.
How lucky you were to come along when they were enjoying their dinner, Mary. I've never seen eagles on the ground, and certainly not side-by-side with a crow. Great shot!
Mary MacADNski: This field was on the right and in the field on the right there were two more eagles. I got a lot of shots but none terribly good.

I assume that there is some sort of pecking order here, Mary? We have eagles in Scotland but nothing like these guys.
Mary MacADNski: They were sharing some roadkill but eagles certainly would win in the pecking contest. There were two other eagles but they flew left and settles in another field.
How amazing to live where Eagles fly about just like that.
Mary MacADNski: We have a lot of eagles here and I see them often.
lol who can snub the best.
Mary MacADNski: True, that is what it looks like.
They look quite amiable together!
Mary MacADNski: I wondered if they would suddenly fight or something but they were hungry for the roadkill I took them from.
Great looking raptor, the crow does seem very close
Mary MacADNski: This was a field on the right. There were two more eagles in the field on the left. The roadkill was in front of me on the road.
Loveley shot, and so special
Mary MacADNski: It was an awesome experience.
