Worst Nightmare
My previous post showed a prairie dog on high alert, mainly because this crazy photographer was sitting on the ground taking its picture. One of the reasons why they are so skittish. is prairie dogs are one of the favorite meals of golden eagles. A golden eagle will soar high above the ground, and with its keen eyesight, spot a potential meal below. Silently it will swoop down towards its unsuspecting prey. Shown here is the aftermath of the stalk. No, it's not pretty but nature can be very brutal.
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!
