I visited Great Oak Pond on 11/05 from 12:00 noon - 14:00 and observed 7
Bald Eagles (two adults, one 3rd year, one 2nd year and three juveniles);
eating two freshly killed Snow Geese. While watching the Bald Eagles, a
juvenile GOLDEN EAGLE arrived and took a tasty morsel from the Bald Eagles.
The Golden Eagle stayed around for about an hour. Once the eagles finished
feeding, 17 Turkey Vultures moved in to clean thing up.
