Bald eagle dines on coot right next to its swimming kin |
On this cold winter day, I've been watching the eagle perch and move about the refuge for some two hours since 10 a.m. Having lost track of him while photographing some long awaited river ice formations, I was surprised to re-spot him sitting on the ice at the far end of the lower impoundment enjoying a coot for lunch with nearly forty others swimming at his side. Wished I'd had a 500mm lens to catch that uncanny juxtaposition!
The coots' taking refuge at the refuge this winter, gives new meaning to living in the moment.
