I still couldn't figure out what they were feeding on to draw them in concentrated numbers like this. After looking around, it was evident someone in a tractor had made a couple of passes around the field in the snow and what I first thought were the entrails from either a cow or pig which was butchered and scattered about turned out to be some type of garbage mixed in with something. Not cool. And certainly not healthy for the eagles. I hope the local conservation officer figured it out too. I wonder if I was able to find a dead eagle around the field and if it could be proven the death was the result of whatever was put in the field, if the landowner could be charged?

Sorry about the quality of the pics as we really didn't come prepared to shoot this. Namely, I didn't have a teleconverter with. It was more of a "let's check it out" side trip on our way to do some snowshoeing.
