A quickie today…
Eagles are majestic birds – one pictures them soaring free in the wild blue yonder…well, and also adorning the sides of the Postal Service delivery trucks. (That USPS image has been a bit tarnished lately – but that’s another story.)
A few years back I was driving along a country road and came across this fellow a few yards off the roadside on a slightly misty morning. He was feasting on the remains of some unfortunate creature which had an encounter with either a vehicle on the highway, or a piece of farm equipment.
We all have to eat to live. But IMHO such an opportunistic scene somewhat offsets the image I have of an eagle freely winging across the sky with a fiery sunset unfolding behind it…or even perched majestically in a tree in the woods, watching and awaiting its next meal to scurry across the ground below… This is more like the way turkey vultures get their meals…
When you’re hungry, I guess breakfast is where you find it…
