Bald Eagle adult and immature at Sea Lion carcass

            The immature Bald Eagle of the previous two images eventually had its place at the feeding bonanza on this Sea Lion carcass usurped by this adult. The older bird landed nearby and promptly hopped on the remains and began feeding. It’s anthropomorphism on my part, but it’s hard not to read an expression of chagrin on the part of the immature, as if to say to itself “Oh well, it was good while it lasted.” This saga unfolded in Pacific Rim National Park on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
