Eagle Catches Duck Brownsville, MN Nov. 29, 2021

We typically Bald Eagles eating fish or carrion (roadkill), but they also go after ducks when the conditions are right. Our Avian Care Assistant Manager Jarod Lueck was at Brownsville, MN to check out the Tundra Swan and waterfowl activity. During his visit, he managed to capture some truly incredible video! Here you can clearly see that Bald Eagles hunt for more than just fish on the river, and we see here that the initial catch was made by a juvenile! Impressive! But as another perfect illustration of the challenges that face juveniles as they hone their skills, it ultimately loses its catch to an adult. One thing is for certain - you don't see Bald Eagle action like this every day.
