Media notes
I watched this adult eagle pursue and eventually catch and drown this heron. The worst part of it is that the eagle could not lift the heron and the tide was rising so the dead heron eventually drifted with the tide and sank. The dozens of gulls, crows and three other eagles that gathered for the left overs left with nothing.
