It was a very wet and rainy season last year in the Khutzeymateen. This particular day was no exception and with a look as if to say his day couldn’t get any worse, a rather bedraggled looking adult bald eagle takes a breather on a rotting log. I was first alerted that something was happening when I observed the eagle as it came swooping down and looped back from nearby trees. Then I saw what he had spotted from his high observation point – a mink was running up the beach making a dash for cover before the eagle could strike. The mink just made it behind and under the old log before the eagle landed. He sat and waited for a while, but on this occasion left with no lunch!
