Driving in my West Danby / Newfield neighborhood a few days ago, I turned east from Vanbuskirk Road onto Bower Road, and came upon a second year Bald Eagle standing on a fox in the middle of the road. Although one sees a lot of road-killed foxes, the tableau strongly suggested that the Eagle had just made the kill. I slowed my car to a crawl while the Eagle struggled to get airborne with the fox. In the end it lifted just a few feet off the asphalt, flew east along the road and bore left into the descending slot of the seasonal section of Vanbuskirk Gulf Road.
