Eagles fighting

[joyce]

Thought this was interesting to see just how intense a fight between two Eagles can be!
They seem to be so into the battle that they are oblivious to people being near by!

Wow,,thats a trip...I had no Idea they fight like that///c

Kinda cruel but I guess that is the way it is

I know Comanche, I was surprised to see it too! I watch them here along the river alot feeding and I see there is a pecking order because the younger ones wait until the 'boss' big guys get their fill....I guess they know if they get to close they will get their butts kicked, or be killed by the bigger birds!
Thanks for stopping by and watching! Joyce

Nature is an awesome thing. Thanks for the show.

You know that reminds me of the Crows in Alaska,,,First off these birds would stay in the Artic when most other birds would fly south.At 60 below,,they would stay on the ground and puff their bodies up to stay warm.I once seen a Group attack and kill a owl.Every time the owl would try to fly away they would gang up on it and drive it back down,,,Pecking it to death,,,,Carnivores eating carnivores,Anyways,,,Very interesting.Thanks for posting this///c

Thanks ShowmeMoflint,
Yes it does seem kinda cruel, but I guess nature has a dark side.... with survival of the fittest! Joyce

I saw a video of bald eagles in Alaska that were fighting over scraps in a dumpster. Hundreds of them. You just don't imagine them in that light.

Wow...can't imagine how they survive in 60 below temps. That interesting that they killed him, must have been something to watch, and wonder why this big Owl is being killed by birds much smaller than he is. I guess he was just out numbered!
I see the Crows around here trying to run Owls off, they hate Owls and will gang up on one until they run he out of their area, People that hunt Crow will sometimes use an Owl decoy to draw the Crows in.
Thanks for sharing a very interesting story with me Comanche! Joyce
