A young bald eagle grabbing salmon carcass

A young bald eagle swoops in to grab a salmon carcass from the ground, lowering his talon as he approaches the fish.
Eagles can open and close their talons at will. They are not only skilled at fishing and hunting for live prey, they also actively seek out the carrion of dead or decaying fish and animal carcasses.
