Bald Eagle in Lake Scugog, Port Perry

by Jason Bellinger
(Port Perry, Ontario, Canada)

We live at the north end of Scugog Island in Port Perry, Ontario - great birding spot, just south west of the Crown lands.

My wife was home with our 6 month old son today and a Bald Eagle landed in the trees with a carp (a big carp!).

We have had Ospreys around here, but this was really neat to see.

Soon after landing and tearing the carp to bits, the eagle was mobbed by crows and didn't get to stay around too long.

Hopefully we will see it again.
