@Phoenixfalconer This is actually pretty common. It's just not witnessed by many, unless you spend a lot of time around eagles. Recently, someone sent me photos of an eagle going after a Trumpeter Swan in mid-air! Unsuccessful, but wow, what a bold (or desperate) move! BTW, eagles and ospreys have been known to drown when killing and retrieving their prey in water!
@JBirdMon09 That could be it. I only see eagles when I go to North New York. We have a pair about 5 miles from my house but it's on government property, so the public can't even get close enough to get a spotting scope on the nest.
That is incredible!
