Bald Eagle

The Inner City eagle was a methodical eater. It ate the pigeon's legs individually, both like this. It looks like the eagle might spit out the leg here, but it was just getting the angle right. It did the same with the pigeon's intestines. Some raptors discard them and I thought this one was in the process of doing so several times, but it just wanted to get the angle right before they went down the hatch. In the end, nothing remained of the pigeon other than plucked feathers.
