what does one call a flock of eagles perched above?


There has been a strange phenomenon of eagles, hawks, & turkey vultures here this past week. Seriously, today alone I counted 10 different eagles as I went on a walk. Craziness. The lake is still vastly open, not frozen, and is teaming with gulls, ducks, and other fowl... and at first we thought they may be eating the birds, but after doing a little cross country skiing (first time yesterday!), it is confirmed they are eating fish. This morning I picked up 11 sunnies & 1 small mouth bass on the lawn. This may sound gross but I'm keeping them. They are resting in my freezer. I am going to use them for fertilizer on the vegetable gardens next spring. Not that I'm trying to avoid that awkward  exchange with the butcher requesting fish heads again or something like that.
