Swimming Eagle

Post by oldsalt »

I saw an eagle swimming toward shore today. I have seen this before when one grabs a prey which is too heavy for it to fly, so it uses its wings to paddle. The resolution is low because I had to really crop it, but taking the picture was a good break from mowing the lawn.

I couldn't see all the way to the shore where he was. The other two times I have seen this they made it in with a cormorant. Grisly.
