Wednesday, April 29, 2020 Bald Eagle with unusual cargo

Seward, Alaska

I’m lucky to see BALD EAGLES just about every day. Nonetheless, I still feel compelled to whip out my camera and take yet another photo.

Today, an adult clutched unusual cargo in its sharp talons as it flew from the tideline to the forest. Was it nesting material? A fish? A bird?

When I checked on my computer, I discovered the bundle had long skinny legs festooned with suckers. A Giant Pacific Octopus! 

How the Eagle managed to catch an octopus is beyond me.

Happy Birding!
