we actually saw a fair number of eagles catching fish and a few flew right by us with their catch
after dinner, cleaning beak on branch
heading out for some more fly-thru fish-sticks
immature eagle strafing an adult who had been sitting oddly on the tower
frame. when the youngster approached the adult, the two flew up and you
could see the fish it was hiding underneath it's body (seen below)
you can see how the middle eagle is hanging it's front wings over the
metal support, and dangling it's tail over the back of the frame. it was
doing this to hold itself in place while it's feet were hanging onto the fish it
was eating/hiding. the other two darker birds are immature eagles looking for a handout
the flag was whipping all morning. clark said that he didn't see it resting the whole day
an eagle sitting on outflow dividing wall
two birds diving for a fish. after a brief altercation, one of the birds ends up
in the water.
the one sat in the water for a few minutes, puzzling people standing around
who figured that the bird was injured
and a shot of it taking off from the water. after all of the other birds flew
off, it decided to head out
surprise! and victory lap (if look closely you can see the fish it was hiding
while it was sitting in the water). the eagle had waited until all of the
other competitors had flown away when they thought there wasn't a fish to
steal, and was unchallenged when it did finally fly to the trees to eat it's catch
if you look closely you can see the fish tail underneath this eagle's tail
