Other carnivores birds (ravens, skuas, gull etc.)

I pulled into the Virginia River mouth parking lot about 07:20 there was the back of an eagle on the shoreline just visible over the trail.  According to the white feathers flying it was eating a gull

Slowly I opened the car door and  stood up. I could see the eagle was eating a first winter Great Black-backed Gull.  It was not that afraid of me as it gorged on breakfast without harassment from other eagles too wary to come in close to the parking lot.

Where else do Bald eagles and GBBG share territories?

It seems these two are quite the rivals.
Whether a bald eagle or white tailed eagle, both seem to compete with the BBG and don't seem to like it one bit. Haha

For being a Gull, its impressive that they can compete with a Raptor at all. Im glad you turned me on to these gulls, quite impressive birds for gulls.
