I volunteer at Nachusa Grassslands in IL. These pictures of a Golden Eagle attacking a deer were shot there a few days ago.

John that is absolutely amazing. I saw a couple of goldens a few days ago (at least that's what I think they were) and can't imagine them going after something like that. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing photography!!
Even more impressive that a bird of prey (even though Goldens are big) would go after something of that size.
Thanks for posting that, John. I'm passing that link along to a couple other people.

To get an idea of just how big a Golden Eagle is, take a look at this photo. Quite an impressive size!

That is truly amazing. I didn't realize Golden Eagles were quite that big (thank you for the reference photo, Backpacker534). I might never feel safe outside again!
