Eagle Surpise

I was driving through a wildlife refuge on a late April afternoon, around 5:30. It was cloudy and not the best lighting conditions.. I saw nothing really and had not raised my camera until just before leaving, when I spotted an Eagle sitting on a narrow piece of ground. I stopped thinking eventuall he would take off and I might get a good action shot. So I set up and waited, and waited, and waited, for about an hour. all he did was look around a lot. Eventually I was surprised by the following event.
Finallly, after almost an hour, he takes off.
And he did not go very far.
He thinks he has something!
Look what I found.

Patience pays off! Bloody bill. But where did the fish come from? Someone else's meal? Great series, pictures telling a story.

I believe that the fish was too big for the Eagle to catch and carry. A good guess is that it was "caught" near shore and the Eagle dragged it up on land. It looked like it had already been munched on. I think the Eagle was just guarding it while I watched and waited until it decided in was time for dinner.
