I've decided to share another action sequence of the eagles with you today! This is what happens when one eagle is snacking on a dead salmon and another eagle comes in and tries to take it. Sometimes the intruding eagle is successful and makes off with what remains of the fish. Other times the intruding eagle goes away empty handed, as seen here. It looks like the eagle is going to get away with the fish in this instance, but for some reason he lets go and flies off without it. Sorry I didn't get the full sequence of him flying away empty handed. My finger must have let up on the shutter because I got this series of 3 images of him flying in to try and take it, and the 4th image shows him flying away already halfway out of the frame. Whether the attempted robberies are successful or not, one thing is for certain: the interactions are always a lot of fun to watch! I love how the eagle in the background is just sort of standing there, innocently watching the interaction between the two eagles in the foreground :-)
