In early March 2019, on the frozen surface of SIlver Lake, a dramatic scene of scavenging took place. Warning: this video contains some scenes that show a dead deer being scavenged by multiple types of carnivores.
The body of the young deer was observed on the ice and prints in the snow told of an extended feeding event. The cause of the deer's demise is unknown but the deer became food for many other animals all trying to survive the winter season.
A trail camera captured some of the scavengers including a fox, vulture, crow, and a bald eagle. Four bald eagles were seen in the vicinity of the carcass and many eagle talon prints were seen in the snow.
In a curious observation, in multiple places on the periphery of the scene, there were small hemlock twigs located on the ice adjacent to where eagles had been standing.

There are many interesting trails in the High Point Preserve, some with large rock formations. In this video a porcupine den is the site for activities by various local fauna, including fox, porcupine, deer, and a fisher. It is interesting to hike after a snowfall and try to identify the tracks left by the various animals as they went on their noctural treks.
The music is "White Bird" by the group It's a Beautiful Day from the 1960's.
