I've seen that before. We have a gorgeous Bald Eagle that hangs around our old hunting grounds. I saw him about 75 yards from the road on a road kill one day. He had about 20 buzzards at bay. They just stood off about 10 yards all around him while he stood atop the carcass with his wings fully spread covering the deer while he ate. I also was surprised by him one day when I swung my binoculars around to check out a gut pile from the day before. Standing on a limb about 10 feet over the gutpile he had his old neck stretched out boring holes into my binoculars. He didn't like me 75 yards away checking out his meal. I mean he just bored holes into me with all my camo and face mask on.
