Not a zombie

Just because this bald eagle is trying to eat the high fat, highly nutritious brain of this salmon, that does not make it a zombie.

 

Brain, skin, and roe are a good source of high quality fat that will help this eagle survive the winter. Eagles will also eat the flesh after the more sought after parts are gone.

 

Taken on the North Fork of the Nooksack River, Washington State.
