In February, I visited a spot I like for viewing Bald Eagles and, sure enough, there were a couple of immature birds battling over a fish.
The two eagles chased each other around and displayed some incredible acrobatics in the air.
I'm not sure what type of fish the eagle has, but it appears to be yellow.
The second eagle tried to grab the fish, but the first eagle hung on tight.
Things got a little heated...
The second eagle kept diving at the first eagle.
Oh noes!
The eagles continued to go at it after the fish fell.
As they were distracted, a bunch of vultures moved in on the dropped fish. I was too far away to get good photos of the vultures, but I caught the eagles flying off, perhaps to do more fishing.
Last year, I had a close encounter with some immature Bald Eagles playing around in the same area. I had set out to find different birds, but the eagles stole the show and really made my day.
