Juvenile Bald Eagle Fight 3

These 2 (probably not the same ones) were really going at it! Must have been great to witness. Thanks!

Thanks Greg & Verena! Yup, these are a different pair. I did not get the talons lock shot but it's awesome to see they lock talons and free fall while rotating in circular pattern from the sky. Generally, the adult do the talons lock as a mating ritual but these Juvies are just practicing/playing, I think.

Hi TmJ. The interaction of these eagles is amazing. Great catch! ......King Regards, Rosario.

Thanks Rosario! Wish I got more of these fighting scene but I run out of time and had to go home after 4,5 days of shooting in Washington State. On this one they actually lock talons with one leg but only when they lock both legs that they will rotate around while free falling and that's much more spectacular as a sequence. Got some but it's too far :-)
