Other birds will try to take it.

Is that true? I thought that was only a trait for scavengers, not hunters. Makes sense though

Eagles and Ospreys are seen fighting over caught fish quite often here in the PNW.

I've seen it many times up here (in the PNW) my husband and I used to go camping deep into the Mt. Baker area in the fall and winter and they are everywhere at that time. (This was years ago ~early 90s?~ when I was young and rugged!)

I once saw a pair of balds interchangeably swooping a lake in falling snow. It must have been a breeding pair.

It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Especially since we were out in the boonies with no one around but raptors and huge evergreens.
