OT: Fresh meat in the eagle's nest. A furry animal of some kind.

That Eagle cam is amazing. Its better quality than the stills from banks I've seen.
The whole thing is incredibly interesting. I knew owls could rotate their heads but I didn't know Eagles could as well.
Very cool.
 
what the heck is that????? I can't figure it out. I also see 2 fish and something else in the nest. Those eagles can really hunt. I saw some other animal in the nest earlier today when I poked on for a few.
 
I saw the one adult bring back and eviscerate a squirrel for the little ones earlier today. I think this might be a skunk.
 
Wasn't there a guy named AustinNit, or something along that line, that claimed to have a large furry beaver that he was having problems with?
 
Very interesting surprises over such a short period of time.


Some good guesses for the new dark furred meat.

Black pelt looks like it could be a black bear cub.

Maybe not, but the first impression conjures up that image.

Perhaps if it gets rotated during eating, other features will help to determine the kind of animal.


This short amount of viewing certainly supports Bald Eagles' reputation as very good hunters.

Lack of foliage at this time of year probably gives the eagles an extra edge. Since leaves and undergrowth are low, it reduces the hiding spots from a drone-like predator, surveying the field from on high, with eagle eyes.

Whatever it is, good chance it was hit by a car . Eagles are opportunists and will steal an easy meal if they can. Have seen an eagle on a roadkill deer . They will also take a fish from an osprey, which I witnessed in Montana.
