Meanwhilst, I counted 16 vultures in my back yard. Then heard a bird noise I had never heard
before.
Went to look with my specs. One lone bald eagle keeping the vultures at bay from some kind of prey.
Was like watching wild kingdom. I kinda found a bit of symbolism in that.
Second time I’ve seen a bald eagle here.
That’s how it works: Whenever I kill a varmit and it’s still laying out in a field a bald eagle will show up to check it out. The scavengers will give it plenty of room. The eagle takes what it wants, if anything, then moves on. Vultures take over, take turns, and clean up. A 5/6/7 pound varmit will feed a pack of birds for about 3 days.
I think the eagle likes me: If I’m outside he’ll give me a rolling wingover on his way to check out the carcus.
Wow! Are you near a river or stream? Does your new place have wildlife?
