<p>It&#8217;s not easy being a squirrel, or anything else near the bottom of the food chain when there&#8217;s an eagle around. A reader sent these photos of a mature bald eagle feasting on a squirrel in Hazle Township. The photos were taken at 1:30 p.m. and the eagle stayed in the tree for about an hour eating the squirrel.</p><p>While eagle are more notorious for snatching fish out of the water, they are also opportunistic predators and will eat carrion or anything they can grasp in their talons &#8230; squirrels included.</p><p><em>Capture anything interesting on your hand-held or trail camera? A nice buck, bear, coyote or any other wildlife? We&#8217;d love to see it. Each week, we&#8217;ll run photos from a reader&#8217;s trail camera on the Sunday Outdoors page. Email your photo, along with date and area it was taken (township is fine), and any other details to tvenesky@www.timesleader.com.</em></p><p><em>&#8212; Tom Venesky</em></p><p><ins><em>For other sports stories, <a href="https://www.timesleader.com/category/sports" target="_blank">click here</a>.</em></ins></p><style>
