A new fox carcass on the ice today. That makes 3 foxes in 4 or 5 days. I'm assuming the eagles are responsible for this but I haven't been lucky enough to see the actual kill happen. One eagle was at the pond when I arrived, but it didn't stay long. As soon as it was gone some crows cautiously moved in on the carcass. Only one crow was crazy enough to grab a bite from the carcass, but one bite was all it managed. Six small ducks even emerged from the branches on the far side of the pond.
The eagle didn't return.
Two fox carcasses strewn on the ice and a large bald eagle surveying the scene from nearby at the edge of the pond. The foxes are being picked clean. I would have loved to have seen the process of how the foxes were brought down. The bird is beautiful, and impressive to see.
