Today we were privileged to watch a Golden Eagle in our backyard. As Fred stood on the patio, he watched an eagle swoop down overhead and dive into a flock of Coots at the edge of the pond. Fred called me outside and moments later, with it's meal clutched tightly in it's talons, the eagle flew to the top of the bank. For several minutes it feasted without ever detecting that we were all gathered at the edge of the patio taking dozens of photographs. Notice the other ducks - a few Coots and a flock of Widgeons floated nearby. If I was a duck I would have been hiding in the cattails!
Another Wild Kingdom moment on the ranch!
