What in the World?



Our friend Raymond, Kodiak's own roving photojournalist, snapped these pics on a drive out the road today. First person to post a comment correctly identifying why these eagles are so interested in the shallows wins a prize.

That looks like a whale vertebrae to me, so- what is eating a whale carcass for a thousand, Alex? Of course, having been out of state and off the rock for a while, my dead whale spotting skills may be rusty...

Alex, Would that be "What is whale carcass?" or "What is the remaining carcass around a whale's verebrae?" -Roxann and Mike

The water is still open and there are lots of salmon eggs and even really really spawned out silvers (and parts there of) floating around. The eagles congregate at the open spots. Patrick

Well, it looks like Jack wins by a nose - his whale carcass spotting prowess still intact. Good to hear from you Mike and Roxann. How are the lil ones?
And, without further ado, the "prize:" http://www.tedprize.org/video/embed/earle_sylvia.html
Thanks to all for playing.
