Golden Eagle having successfully consumed much of her prey while out and about hunting today, she now gets ready to carry her end-of-day lagomoph meal to enjoy at the nest #TakeAway #2023MMM

The skeletal remains of prey carried back to & consumed in the nest may become part of the nest structure cumulatively over time. Some golden eagles may collect bones from the open grasslands these birds prefer, but where sticks are less common (Lloveras et al. 2017) #2023MMM
