Eagle and the Jellyfish by kwind

Eagle and the Jellyfish

What a crazy wildlife day!! I witnessed this eagle SWIM butterfly stroke while carrying what we think is a giant jellyfish. I've never seen anything like it! It must have been too heavy to carry to he swam instead. Unfortunately by the time I ran for the camera I missed the swimming part. He started to enjoy his catch when another eagle swooped down and took over. I got a bunch of shots and went to check them out on the computer. A few minutes later, I look out the computer room window and I see several birds flying around. There were now 7 eagles eating the jellyfish. Check out this shot: http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2014-02-22

Here's more shots from my FB album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151877770846150.1073741915.548771149&type=1&l=c98cbbe198

Whatever it is it must be good, or food is very scarce. I looked on you Facebook page and see that whatever it is, it drew a large crowd of eagle. Which is interesting. When we were driving across a causeway this morning we saw three good sized birds sitting in a tree near the lake. They could have been eagles or Osprey. Didn't get a good look and there is no safe place to pull off and look.
