Eagles debate the fate of a raccoon
To my surprise a raccoon showed up in the water near the eagles. I was more surprised when the raccoon climbed on the log with the two eagles! The eagles turned their backs on the raccoon and looked like they discussed amongst themselves whether or not they should eat him. They returned their gaze on him but decided not. The raccoon scampered away!
