Seriously, I didn't know bald eagles could do that. It was practically swimming to shore.

They hunt the other birds (ducks and such) out of the retention pond behind our house.

Much, much larger birds than I thought.

That's not a huge musky...but it ain't no bitch either lol

They aren't huge until they near 50 inches
My personal best is 53 inches and 31lbs

One of the lakes I fish is full of eagles (3 nesting pair) and they are better at fishing than I am lol...and I dont suck, and my 250 dollar Costa sunglasses dont have shit on their eyes lol

We used to get hundreds of Ducks congregating in the inlet of our lake at my old house and the Bald Eagles would come through and dive and swoop up the babies and other Ducks they could get their claws on. There were Eagles and nests all over the lake so we saw them daily.

We have an eagle nest on our cul de sac. The kids have to spot check the sky any time our puppy goes out.

Golden eagles are the bad bitches. Wife was up north working and the discussion of eagles came up with our new puppy. One of the ladies she was working with said they have a conservatory and there’s a golden eagle nest. They periodically check on the nest and hadn’t done so in over a year. The lady said she found 43 dog/cat collars

We had a bald eagle do the same here at work last week.

Restigouche River, Atlantic Salmon.

Eagle needed to rest for quite a bit. He was trashed. 15 lb salmon or so.
