Description
One young and two mature bald eagles feast on a sea lion carcass. Over a dozen eagles patiently waited in the snow storm early in the morning until the tide dropped low enough to expose the carcass. They feasted, feathers fully saturated and soaked to the bone, to warm their bellies with meat that will allow them to survive the winter.
