Biology’s Michael Runtz on the Importance of Death in Nature
Naturalist Michael Runtz recently spent 10 hours photographing birds as they feasted on a deer carcass. The death of one animal meant that many more were able to stay alive. Runtz observed many birds that day, including ravens, a woodpecker, young bald eagles, and several golden eagles.
