What is an eagle to do in late winter when the lakes have been frozen for months and fresh meat is scarce? Why, find the nearest deer carcass and chow down, of course. The more the merrier, in fact. A BLFP reader snapped this photograph of a wildlife buffet on the northeast banks of Blue Lake:

Q: Why couldn’t an eagle carrying two dead raccoons board his Mesaba Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Rhinelander?

What a great photo! I’m anxious to get back to the lake. I need to greet the bears when they wake up from their long winter’s nap!
