Eagle Carry Prey Fight Mate Rare View Nest Scream Young Fly Rabbit Wild Nest Adult White head

Video shows the rare view of a wild adult bald eagle flying into its nest with prey. It looks like the prey is a rabbit or squirrel. The prey in the eagle's talons can be seen. It is very difficult to photograph a bald eagle arriving with prey and rarely done. Both adult white-headed parents are shown. The one with the prey lands in the nest and the one perched in the tree, then also flies to the nest. For a while both are in the nest and then one flies away. After this, one screams loudly.

The video also likely shows an attack because the prey rabbit/squirrel is probably alive in the eagle's talons as it is flown in. The eagles are shown tearing it apart and killing it in the nest. This is how they feed their young.

The video also shows a bald eagle nest with nestlings and two adult eagles at the same time, which is another unusual view. Shows parents tear prey up for nestlings. Shows several vocalizations and screams. One eagle watches as the other comes in and lands.

A very brave oriole attacked the eagle that was perched over the nest. Its flashy orange color showed up and its musical call can be heard several times as can the eagles vocalization.

These are probably the parents of the young eagles shown cavorting in the sky. This view was taken about a month before the later one. It shows bald eagles in an in-air acrobatic fight. They make makes a half-roll and barrel rolls onto their sides and backs and then right themselves. They scream and vocalize.

Video shows crows attacking an adult American Bald Eagle. It was the end of winter and the birds were starved. The eagle had been enjoying its dinner, which looked like a whitetail deer. The crows attacked and eagle flew away and let the crows eat for a while. Sometimes the crows nosedived straight down. Later the eagle returned. The crows displayed aerial acrobatics, nose-diving straight down with beaks pointed at the eagle. They also attacked the eagle when it was in flight.

The Bald Eagle is a large bird, with a body length up to 42 in, a wingspan up to 96 inches, and weighs up to 15.5 lb; females are about 25 percent larger than males. The adult Bald Eagle has a brownish body with a white head and tail, bright yellow irises, talloned feet, and a hooked beak.

That Eagle was quite unconcerned with those crows.
