Northern harriers squabbling over a dead coot. Winter is a tough time for raptors, as food becomes scarce forcing them to migrate in search of food. Southern cal attracts a lot of harriers, red tails and eagles for just that reason. A few locations get thousands of coots and ducks. Coots don't fly that good and are a sizable chunk of meat, plus they are not the smartest of birds. So, when one makes a kill, there are lot of other competitors willing to fight for it, or if you are an eagle, just take it.
