The Soldier

A bald eagle sits at attention while scoping out the upper Kenai River . Frequently seen sitting on spruce tops

Bald Eagle

“The Bald Eagle”

Bald Eagle

This bald eagle landed on a perfect perch and the sun just happened to just starting hitting it for a nice shot

Kenai Collision

The force of this Collision would knock the young immature eagle off the Silver Salmon several feet back . This would continue until only fragments of the salmon were left . The young eagle is being taught by its superior older adult eagle that you eat what you catch , not steal

The Battle Ends

The remaining portion of a once large silver salmon is flown off by the rightful owner after a twenty minute battle and changing hands on four occasions. The young probably stronger eagle proved that youth may have a physical advantage but the older more mature eagle would eat the last share . I’m not sure if the young eagle made any friends but it did show it has spunk

The Battle Ends

Finally after twenty minutes and several change of hands , the rightful owner flys off what seems to be a sparse remnant of a salmon and has had enough of the youthful eagles energy

The Battle

It would be back and forth it seems as youth verses age .I’m not sure if the two eagles just had it out for one another or they were actually that hungry

The Battle

A person has to really study the pictures to see which eagle actually is having its fare share of the salmon because ownership changes on four occasions
