What 500 Feeding Bald Eagles Actually Looks Like

Eagles like many predators are opportunistic hunters and when there is a fresh fish buffet bubbling up with the incoming tidal surge, they fill the skies eagerly awaiting the feast.

When there is plenty of food, the birds have no problems, they find their own path and get their own fish but sometimes things get a little heated.

And when eagles clash they often lock talons and spiral out of control completely blind to their surroundings. Trees included.

In order to avoid confrontation, some birds choose to eat their meal as quickly as possible. That means gulping it down while they are still in the air but older more dominate birds have no problems gliding, snatching their catch from the surface and casually flying to some far away perch to eat it.
