Headline : Bald Eagle Protects Its Catch From Another Eagle
Caption : Wildlife photographer Bob Jensen captured the moment that a huge bald eagle swooped down on another eagle in an attempt to steal its catch. Instead of flying away, the defensive eagle flips onto his back to display his large talons for protection. In the process the eagle does a full somersault in the water. His dignity may have been dampened, but a moment later the wet eagle flew away with his catch in tow. Fighting between these large raptors is common in the colder months as the eagles are setting up their territories, building nests and preparing to mate in Washington State, U.S.A
