Bald Eagle and ravens

Post by Deb1741 »

My grandson and I just got back from our annual June trip to Yellowstone Park. We were scoping a Blue Heron rookery on the Yellowstone River (8 nests with 11 adults and multiple chicks in 7 of the nests) when a bald eagle flew in and got either a fish or a duck from the river. It flew to the shoreline and then another eagle flew to a tree. Two ravens must have had a nest there because they proceeded to harass the eagles big time. They chased one away and then came back to harass this one but it wouldn't budge. Very interesting interaction to watch. Video taken with my point and shoot on a tripod. Click on HD for a better video. Turn on the volume to hear the eagle screeching- I apologize for the chatter. We had lots of people coming over to look through our scope at the herons so there was lots of talking.
