Oxbow Lake Nature Preserve, 4/18/05, 8:30-10am
Quite a show by a young Bald Eagle (4-5 years) and an imm Eagle. The older
Eagle caught a fish (probably one a Great Blue Heron had his eyes on) and
the imm Eagle tried to take it away. The older Eagle dropped the fish, they
both went to separate trees and stared at each other. They flew quite close
to where we were standing at the observation point.
