Golden Eagle Attacks Deer At Nachusa

Eric Walters reports on the Illinois Birders Forum:

"On Saturday, February 13th, I found a Golden Eagle at Lee County's Nachusa Grassland......It was then that I noticed a terrified White-tailed Deer that had been caught out in an open cornfield adjacent to Nachusa's Carpenter's Prairie and was attempting to flee - was this eagle just having some midday fun by scaring the deer or did it have other purposes by dive-bombing it?"

And he took lots of pictures!
