Conflict of ealges (C)
by John Tobias
I was teaching a youth class zoo photography when we arrived at the bald eagle exhibit. You could sense that the eagles were tense, when suddenly the male started chasing the female (neither can fly the result of pre-zoo injuries) suddenly the two birds had clasp talons and locked together were rolling around the exhibit accompanied by loud vocalizations. After a few minutes, they seperated and breathing hard stayed away from each other. Not sure if this was mating behavior, although it did have some behaviors which might be mating behavior, or simply a spousely disagreement. In any case it certainly gave the students interesting action to photograph.
