Neil,
I heard similar information years ago. It could also so be afterbirth from
lambing or calving. This occurs in two other Samish flat farms. The Bow
Cheese farm (although I haven’t seen it in a couple years) and at a farm on
Allen West Rd west of the Methodist Church.
Those eagles are amazing at scoping out food, kind of like the birders at
the East 90:-)
