A juvenile bald eagle takes flight after feeding on a dead whale carcass in Glacier Bay National Park on Sunday. The whale was found floating near the mouth of Glacier Bay on June 26. On June 28, veterinary pathologist Dr. Stephen Raverty led a team of biologists and volunteers to determine the cause of death and collected samples for laboratory diagnostics and natural history studies. The diagnosis indicated that the whale was in poor health.
