While on the subject of birds of prey, I just watched a large group (murder) of crows attack a bald eagle along the freeway, this is nothing new but this time they were actually landing on its back and pecking at its head, sometimes several at a time. The eagle suddenly winged over and crashed into the ground from about 50' up. He was lying wounded or dead along side the freeway in a small field that had been hayed recently. Never seen that before is all I can say.

Nature is beautiful if you are not included in the food chain. Beautiful to watch.

Similar happens when the hooligan fish (big smelt) come into Turnagain Arm. Eagles are all over the place and fishing. Thousands of gulls waiting for the spoils. All will be sitting on the mud flats waiting for the bore tide to bring them lunch.

Similar happens at river mouths when the trout and salmon are running.

i like the way he held the last fish head forward for the aerodynamics in flight

Awesome..!!

first one was like shooting fish in a barrel but the others going into the water were amazing and probably picked up more than their own weight and flew away with it...wow..!! :thumbup:

Thats some neat video. I was fishing on a small pond one day when a red tail hawk snatched a black snake out of the water around 30yrds from my boat. Was the only thing I seen caught that day as I didnt do as well as the hawk.
