Was looking out the window at my birdfeeders while standing at the kitchen sink when I saw what I thought were Wild Turkeys off in the field. Grabbed my binoculars and found out that they were Turkey Vultures. Watched them eating a carcass for a while. They numbered eight at one point, the numbers went down to two and then those two left when a Bald Eagle showed up. I believe that a juvenile showed up shortly after that and then another adult. One adult seemed to dominate the carcass and wouldn’t share. Eventually, it went down to only one adult. This transpired over the course of about an hour between 14:00 and 15:00 approximately.
I have lived here for 30 years and I have never seen a Bald Eagle near my property before. Turkey Vultures regularly nest in the woods just to the west of here.
