Battle Ground – Bald Eagles

Bald Eagles can spend most of the winter in close proximity to one another.  There are advantages to this in that they may pirate off one another for a fish now and then. Juveniles are particularly prone to chasing after another bird with a fish.  At the same time, all this togetherness can cause a little tension now and then.  Like when one bird has a prime spot for fishing the edge of the ice, and another bird would like a little of that action.  This…is a battle for real estate…nothing more, but it’s enough for some dramatic action to the camera’s eye.
