  • Bald Eagle Catches and Eats a Crab shows an eagle capturing a crab at low tide in Juneau, Alaska on May 6, 2019.
  • Of interest is at the minus tides I often see eagles capturing and eating crabs. They seem to not eat the legs but concentrate on the body meat and possibly stomach contents.
  • Since crabs can accumulate PSP in their stomachs I wonder if this has any effect on the eagles that eat them.
