My brother tells me it was a hard winter for bald eagles in Sitka. While walking one of the beaches on the tracking field day Scott found this eagle floating in the water near the shore. He was pretty excited because it was the beach where he has been doing dead bird surveys and it sounds like he hadn't found too many dead birds there yet.
I am impressed with the talons. After the body had mostly decomposed and who knows how long it had been bobbing in the water, the talons still seem almost synthetic in their smoothness.
