Thanks, Mason,
The spawners look to be 10 or more pounds. I watched an eagle catch a coot and fly off to a nest with it. Not sure they could do so with the large carp. Perhaps they would/could tear off pieces for aerial delivery.

Yes, they do. I've seen some catch carp on Lake Sammamish before; there's a (low quality) photo here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27198342 <https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27198342>

Carp are spawning in the shallows around Lake Washington & would be easy pickings for eagles. Has anyone observed eagles using carp?
