  • Two bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fight in midair for a prime hunting spot along Hood Canal in Washington state. Hundreds of bald eagles congregate in the area near Seabeck early each summer to feast on migrating midshipman fish that get trapped in oyster beds at low tide.

  • A bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) chases another in the sky over Hood Canal near Seabeck, Washington. Bald eagles migrate to the area in the early summer to feed on migrating midshipman fish and skirmishes between the eagles are common.

  • A bald eagle and a red fox tussle in midair over a European rabbit in San Juan Island National Historical Park in Washington state. The fight began when the bald eagle attempted to steal the rabbit away from the young fox, known as a kit. When the bald eagle grabbed the rabbit, it inadvertently also caught the fox, lifting both more than 20 feet into the air. The fox swung back and forth trying to take the rabbit back. The bald eagle released the fox and flew off with the rabbit. The whole struggle lasted 8 seconds. Both European rabbits (Oryctolagus cunuculus) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to San Juan Island. The rabbits were introduced to the island in the 1890s by settlers; foxes were introduced occasionally in the 1900s. The European rabbits in particular are considered an invasive species, turning the prairie into an unsustainable barren landscape with their vast burrows. This displaces small native mammals, such as the Townsend's vole. While bald eagles and foxes occasionally hunt rabbits, it is a relatively rare occurrence. Up to 97 percent of an eagle's diet consists of fish and birds; red foxes more commonly eat berries, insects and small mammals, like the vole.

  • An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) calls out from its perch in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Frenchglen, Oregon. Especially in the summer, Eastern Kingbirds feed on insects, primarily flies. They wait on a perch for an insect to approach and they fly off to catch it in mid-air.
