Yummy.

If I eat skunk I always want a kitkat later.

[Tilly2]

That nest must pong to high heaven!

[Chipchopper]

I missed the skunk lunch but I think its fur coat is still there at the moment.

It amazes me how frail those tiny chicks look at this stage and quick they grow into a large and powerful preditor.

[Tilly2]

They just get stuffed with food!

[Chipchopper]

The other thing that amazes me is, how on earth do them little chicks manage to survive getting squashed of suffocated.
I've had a bald eagle on my arm and it weighed about 8 lbs.

[Tilly2]

So have I, Chip.

Is that a youngster Tilly ?
I noticed that the beak hasn't turned yellow yet.

Skunk with the added aroma of trout:-/

[melv16]

Looks like there's plenty of food for the eagles. The mother is tucking into one of the 6 trout that's on the nest.

[Tilly2]

Apparently, the dark bundle of fur, which keeps moving around the nest, is not a skunk. It's a fisher. I had to look that up. Never heard of it. Some kind of weasely thing

[melv16]

Fisher is a new one on me as well, tilly. I think skunks are a part of the weasel family, or is that porcupines?
