Bald Eagles grab a meal, get chased off by Coyote

January 24, 2017 by Tony Leave a Comment

A fun little scene on the way home from work one day last week. I spot these two eagles enjoying a Prairie Dog dinner and of course have to take pictures. Soon after, for no reason that I could see, they took off and high-tailed it out of there. As I started to turn away, I saw why they left so quickly. A Coyote was working its way through the grass and getting closer. The Coyote didn’t see me initially but when it did, it too took off running. Lots of fun and a two-for-one wildlife encounter in suburbia!
