Bald Eagles Eating Carrion - 4k - Graphic

I filmed these bald eagles feeding on a dead white-tailed deer near my house. Eagles will often follow ravens in search of an easy meal and they will feed together. This particular deer had at least 30 ravens and 4 eagles feeding off of it. It only takes a matter of days until the carcass is skeletonized. Filmed with a Blackmagic Ursa Mini 4.6k and a Nikon 500mm f/4 ai-s lens. © 2020 Garth McElroy

Wow, those Ravens were super close to those Bald Eagles. They only flinched when the Bald Eagles started turning slightly toward them! The biggest question is "Who truly found the meal first?" I'm sure that question is sort of irrelevant since both of these birds have the same eyesight. The difference is that since a Raven lacks a curved beak, they have difficulty tearing into flesh. So they'll wait until the Eagle makes a few bites, then that'll give the Ravens a perfect opportunity to start eating. 30 Ravens is certainly a lot! The way I see it, both of these birds have to cooperate with each other, especially since the Ravens are what I'd call "scavenging experts"!

Beautiful birds that I don't have here. Successful and clear slow motion sequences. I regret that this video is so short but I know from experience that it is difficult to film the birds Good work friend. Thank you for these beautiful plans.

One seems smaller than the other! Maybe a male and a female! Amazing!
