Bald Eagles Fighting Over Fish, Hood Canal, Washington

Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fight over a midshipman fish caught in the Hood Canal near Seabeck, Washington. Hundreds of bald eagles congregate in the area in the early summer to feast on migrating midshipman fish that get trapped in oyster beds at low tide. Bald eagles, however, primarily get their food by stealing it from other birds, including eagles.
