Tha's absolutely correct. The eagle, when they started training in the wilderness, the first time when he caught the fish, it seemed, that he thought "wow, I am a wild animal and I can feed myself", so he flew away then. It took him appr. 2 days to return to the falconry - looks like a sense for comfortability :-)
I hope that I already mentioned, that this video was taken under controlled conditions, meaning the fish was freshly killed and offered on a stick, which was below water level. After the cathc it popped out of the water due to the sudden weight release. It was an eagle from a falconry, but the catching itself looks pretty much the same in wilderness, only here it was much easier to focus. :-)
Great scripted exercise. Viewed knowing that it is a controlled environment allows the mind to free itself from thought of how or why and just enjoy this beautiful raptor.
Great vid! You got the rest of the footage? Looks like he drops it at the end, do you know if he catches it back up again? By "offered" I'm assuming it was placed there so if the eagle dropped it he scooped it back up?
You are right, offered mean, that there was a person holding a stick with a freshly killed trout below the water surface, such that we could record such a sequence under controlled conditions. The eagle did not drop the prey in this catch, but in one of the attempts before he lost the fish. Since the eagle was from a falconry, he wasn't to eager to give it a 2nd try.
I'm wanting to say that hte fish is a catfish of some kind but I'm not quite sure.

Sorry to say, but the fish was freshly killed before we recorded this footage, which has been done under "controlled conditions".

I never realized just how much effort it takes for a raptor to 'pluck' a fish out of the water.

Thanks. And again, EXCELLENT work! Especially the closeup and slower one. I could sit and watch eagles in slow motion all day, it is fantastic.
