Hike To Dead Eagle Site

It's been just about a year since I found the remains of a young eagle on a shoreline hike. . I thought it might be an interesting morning to visit the area and see what if any activity is evident. I parked on Rte 32A  and hiked Carted Rd to Hell Huddle Rd then to the reservoir where I followed the shoreline east.  The reservoir is down but not as low as last year. Moose ,deer and raccoons have been visiting the waters edge frequently.

When I reached the area ,the pace slowed looking for any sign left by eagles. With the bones and shells that were found last year, one might conclude that an eagle visited regularly consuming it's catch.

 Rounding the next corner was a broken mussel. A little further lay a painted turtle shell.

 I found a similar  turtle shell last year in the same area.  One could conclude with the few parcels located this morning that eagles use the area regularly when feeding.
