Chilkat Eagle Preserve, Alaska | November | Canon 1D4 | Canon 600mm f4 IS | 1/1000, f5, ISO 400
When ever one eagle had a salmon, others would swoop in and challenge the bird with the fish. The challenger almost always won. Often the defending eagle would jump into the air, invert with talons towards the challenger, and occasionally in such a way would keep their fish. The funny thing was that there was no lack of fish, so there seemed no logical reason for them to take each other's.
