Air 3 Mountain Hawk Eagle feeding on a deer carcase.

[monchan]

I came across this guy feeding on a young fawn. It must have been floating in the dam and got stuck on the
overflow wall. It looks like I am very close but I wasn`t, I used the 70mm on the Air3 and zoomed in, in post.
For the most part he continued eating. He looked up and I flew away slowly.

Look at the size of him compared to the deer, it`s a huge bird.
This was taken in Tottori prefecture, Japan.

Yeah it is a bit gross. But it is something you don`t see everyday, couldn`t pass up filming this scene.
Thanks or watching.

Yeah, I hadn`t heard of this bird before capturing it. Had to go online to find out what it was.
