EAGLE WITH PREY

in #paradise9 years ago (edited)

We came across an Eagle in a field on a trip a few years back. He wasn't far from the road, which is really uncommon. So I stopped the car to watch this majestic creature.

As we were watching, and I got out my camera, the Eagle was taking to the air with an animal in it's talon's. This animal was rather large and the Eagle was struggling to get airborne.

We watched as he worked his way across the field, he would not be denied his prey.

What kind of animal do you think it is that the Eagle has captured?

I haven't actually seen an eagle just heard of it but wow it seems scary to go near

Thank you my friend.
I do not understand why this "one of a kind" post doesn't get more upvotes?
No one else has had content with actual close up photo's of an Eagle flying away with it's prey.
Very discouraging for me. :-(
Frankly, I hesitate to post good content anymore. I feel like I'm wasting it.

It's been happening a lot for past couple of days and it's disappointing honestly . I don't get what's going on

I agree, actually longer than that. But this eagle makes it obvious.
I will be posting fast and easy posts until I see improvement.
I'm not gonna waste good material for nothing.
I will visit you and a few others daily, that's it.

I've wasted a lot already but hoping not to give up . I should do the same as well until we start to see hanje in the community

I'm not giving up. Just waiting to post the really good stuff.
hanje?

It looks like a little dog to me.

I seen an eagle on Youtube actually pick up a small child that was sitting on the ground and lift it in the air for a bit. Lucky the eagle dropped the child as maybe it was too heavy for it. The video is called, Golden Eagle Snatches Kid.

Thank you David!! I watched the video, hard to believe!!

oh wow! looks like a rat??

Thank you @sunnylife!! You are a true friend!!
Not sure what animal is, maybe a dog?

I'm lucky to have you Papa Bear:):)
I pity the dog if it was:(
Have a great day!

I still ask the question as you did to be able to take such an incredible photo and that the animal did not flee?

I think the Eagle was very intent on it's dead prey and was watchful of me, but I was cautious and did not make quick movements. So it continued to give it's attention to carrying off the dead animal.

excellent friend congratulations :D

Papa-pepper says the animal is a possum. I think he's right.

Hahaha says it because it is very small ??

wow your Captured it perfectly Very cool :O

Thank you my @blazing friend!! And what do you think the animal is?

Bald eagle it looks like but not sure !!

NO - lol - the animal the eagle has captured in it's claws. What is it?
Yes - a bald eagle.

lol hahah i have no idea dog it looks like after zooming to much but that is not i guess

That's what I think to, but we will never know.
Thank you my friend!!

@paradise-found,
Poor prey but a great photography. Thank you very much for sharing such great travelling experiences with us.

Cheers~

Thank you my friend @guruasia!! Any guess as to the animal in claw's?

@paradise-found - Perfect shot. Your photography skills makes me crazy.

+W+

Thank you so much my friend!! Any guess about the animal?

This is so cool! The only eagle I have seen has been at a museum! It looks like a large rat to me!

Thank you @sevinwilson!! Yeah, it was very cool to come across this as we drove along.
I kinda thought it looked like a small dog.

I certainly hope it wasn't a small dog, but it does look like it! I have a 3-4 pound dog at my house and the hawks eye the crap out of it! haha

Beautiful, love the pictures

Thank you so much!! Any guesses to the kind of animal the Eagle has?

I am with you, looks like a small dog! Or maybe some kind of rodent

Ohhh these photos you took your friend? @paradise-found

Yes - I took these photo's!!
