The eagel-cam is cool, particularly when the parent starts ripping pieces off of the carcass and feeding the chicks.

I was fishing Saturday morning at Jamaica Pond.
I managed to catch a crayfish that was foraging amongst the leaf-litter on the bottom.
While I was casting spoons to the invisible trout, I saw a brief commotion to my left, and as I turned QUICKLY, I saw a hawk barely miss a duck at the shoreline, and watched as it flew out just as I finished the cast I was in the process of making.
I was able to adjust my cast enough so that the lure and line passed well over the bird as it took off after its failed attempt.
That's one heck of a stealthy bird, as there was no noise, either from the hawk or any of the other birds in the area, nothing to indicate it was on the attack.
Beautiful sight regardless of the circumstances!
