Nice documentation of this behaviour.
Last year I posted a very poor photo (wrong gear with me) of a bald eagle that got mad at a bunch of gulls and crashed down in amongst them and floated around for a while.

Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating. I've never seen an eagle crash like this. We did once see a pair of eagles systematically trapping and killing a seagull - one was chasing while the other systematically blocked it whenever it tried to fly up until it gave up and landed on the water, at which point one of the eagles killed it, not sure how, possibly drowning, and dragged it ashore where it plucked off many of the feathers while its mate kept watch in a nearby tree. We were too far away for decent pictures with the little camera I had.
