There was a young eagle and four ravens having aerial war with each other. They were all fighting the strong winds to maintain position over the sand. I watched this for about 10 minutes before moving further down the beach. Two of the ravens were on the sand and pecking away at a fresh kill. The bird they were eating looked like a black turnstone.
