Came upon 23 Bald Eagles just west of Rushford , Mn. in early December.

It appears they were feeding on deer carcasses that someone had put out.

We often see the Bald Eagle in the role of scavenger during the winter months. It was also interesting to note that almost all of these eagles were immature and had not developed the white head that appears at about age 4. It seems there must have been a good hatch of eagles this year.
