> Today we saw a Bald Eagle land in Lake Sammamish. At first we didn't know what was happening. As the situation progressed we realized that the Eagle had landed on a Double-crested Cormorant (we think) as the Cormorant surfaced. The Eagle drowned the Cormorant by staying on top of it. Eventually the Eagle flew off carrying the Cormorant. Here is a video of the last half of this encounter.
