Title: Bald eagle takes Green-winged Teal (NJ)
Post by: Donna on 06-Dec-09, 07:37:46 AM
Mike DeBonis took these great pictures of a Bald Eagle capturing a hapless Green-winged Teal at Brigantine. Here are his comments about the event:
 

"  On Saturday, November 28th, 2009, I went to photograph the Ivory Gull at Cape May. After having my fill of taking pictures of this very cooperative visitor, I decided to stop at E.B. Forsythe NWR (Brigantine) on my way home. I was at the end of my first go around when I saw a Bald Eagle in the water. My first thought was that it had caught a very large fish and could not lift it from the water. Well to my surprise, the Bald Eagle had taken a Green-winged Teal. Please enjoy the photos! "
