I had a well timed grocery shopping trip this afternoon to Hannaford's at Mill Cove in SP - around 2:30 pm - well, actually a tad too late to see the Eagle take down its prey but in time to watch it lunch on it. So not sure if it took the Herring Gull down or the gull had already succumbed to other forces of nature and presented an easy pick for the eagle.
Anyhow, a great feast for the eagle. Lots of folks watching it close up from the parking area. Lots of ooohs ad aaahs from the viewers. The eagle had to hurry as the spot where it decided to feed was slowly getting flooded by the incoming tide. As you can see from the pics, it flew away after finishing off most of the gull.
Some of my pics posted on flickr on the link below if you want to take a look. Great bird!!!!!
