My place in Pa is a wildlife magnet, with beaver, otter, eagles and deer almost daily sightings, along with regular coyote howls and yips. A friend who was visiting yesterday sitting on my couch saw a heron coming in for a landing across the lake. A few minutes later he asked what that white thing was over there. I looked and said it was an eagle and he was eating something. When I looked through binoculars I could see that the eagle was eating the heron which appeared to still be alive. As we were getting ready to go out for a paddle the eagle continued to eat the heron. In about a half hour the eagle flew off. We paddled and fished our way over to the kill site and examined the mostly eaten heron. About the only meat left on it was at least one leg. I gathered up some feathers and took its feet which I hope to dry and preserve. I was out again this morning and the eagle came back for the leftovers.
