You think that's cool, you should see how an osprey does it. They are so well adapted to catching fish that evolution has turned their talons into fish hooks.
You can go to the upper Skagit river and watch this for yourself. Happens every day. You'll see 70 or 80 birds in the trees taking turns snatching fish out of the water. November best month. I lived near the Skokomish river in Union. Same activity on the lower river. But more active on the Skagit.
Grace and beauty all wrapped up in this majestic scene. I've seen only about 14 bald eagles in my life and each time the site was just jaw dropping awesome.
People (licensed falconers) bird hunt using their falcons, and they DO get the birds from them, so it isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility. Also, one of the Far East countries has a history of using pelicans to fish. Their techniques involve a long leash around the neck of the bird and once the bird gets a fish the fisherman pulls on the role, constricting the birds ability to swallow the fish after catching it. Saw a documentary on it many years ago. Crazy to watch in action!
This bird of prey is so precise. Kind of like watching a well trained gymnast. So many things having to happen with precision one after another, never misses a beat. Breath taking.
the US citizenship test should just consist of being locked in a room with this video on repeat for 3 hours. for extra credit, you will be allowed to bring a case of bud light.
@@RafaCL1980 Totally stupid analogy considering that North Vietnam barely had an airforce. Do some research before you try to sound smart by typing Anti-American bullshit. Try again kiddo.
Lazy jackass reluctantly puts in effort to catch something alive instead of the usual pilfering off some other raptor or eating out of a dumpster. Good image.
@@Baryonx97 Animals don't understand the concept of dumpsters and excessive consumption. To them, we're just idiots wasting food. Why try to catch fish if a bunch of other creatures just gather all the food for you? Just fly over to a boat and get first pick.

These eagles are all like "Excuse me, just passing through grabbing some fast food. No biggie." Freakin' miracles of nature right here. Simply phenomenal.
FUN FACT: Whenever a bald Eagle flies to catch a fish, the dramatic music starts. Seems like fish would learn that’s the sign that an aerial predator is coming. 🤣
And at 24 seconds you can actually see the salmon rotating out of the eagle's grip. They cut all the clips at this point because the eagle most likely dropped the fish.
I don't know why this brings me tears of joy I guess that its just such a beautiful magnificent creature and or its just doing its part in the circle of life idk it legit makes me cry though.
This takes really accurate sight, coordination, timing. Amazing how the eagle happens to have those things for its survival ;) Salmon's on the menu tonight!
wow, such a cool video, it is easy, with slow motion, especially on the third one, the eagles intent, how many milliseconds are slotted for 'claws ready' , for 'snatch the prey' and then back to flight, never skipping a beat, simply amazing....
This animal is what inspires the US. Nope, it is not Panda. And, get real. Panda has no Kungfu, happily chewing bamboo shoots. While it is huge, it isn't spreading its wings to span across a wide area, unlike the Bald Eagle. :)
0:35s ... back-tall "elevators" and wing "flaps" (+ wing-span) fully extended, for maximum aerodynamic lift, thus securing optimal strike speed, and laser-focused eyesight-on-pray, all the way until final strike. Absolutely impressive, and all of it happening like a walk in the park.... BRUTAL !!
The Eagle never loses eye contact till the mission is complete. Such precision, elegance and beauty.
just like brahmos

No. tThat’s multiple shots from multiple angles of multiple Bald Eagles. There great shots, but this is really common
they spent days, sometimes even weeks in the same location at times just to take a good shot. Nature documentarists are truly something else

don't Mongolians use eagles to hunt?

It is amazing
They take 1min to catch one.
It's a good thing that we ignored Benjamin Franklin on choosing our National Bird.

The wild turkey

Never get tired of watching these beautiful birds in action
Voice over
Background music
Sound effects
Footage
Everything was perfectly aligned
Its amazing how an eagle approaching its prey looks so similar to an airplane with flaps extended, touching down on a runway.
There's a reason we modeled our planes to look like birds.
True!
It's the opposite lol
Actually,
the jet fighter is more like Tuna.
Lifting body ＆ variable sweep wing
like F-14 and B-1 bomber
is similar to the Golden Eagle.
Definitely uses VFR/Visual Flight Rules, too, a little of both, maybe?

THE LOOK IS SO MAJESTIC LIKE A EMPEROR !
I'm scratching my head on this one . . . how can 149+ people "dislike" this footage? It is amazing footage!
Suzanne Hensler Because it represents the US, and they don't like that.
Maybe because the moron refers to the bald eagle as a bald headed eagle. Maybe that's their way of saying the video poster is a nit-wit.
Democrats who raised their kids to hate America.
Maybe they’re upset about a video depicting a bald eagle being labeled as a bald headed eagle … 🙄!!
Disgusting. Eagles burn in hell!!!
My god this is incredible.
The videography is almost as amazing as what the eagle did!

At 23 seconds, you can actually see the eagles rear talon sink all the way into the salmons head. Instant death from above.

It’s fascinating to watch the Eagle’s head turn to follow the fish, like a baseball player tracking the ball towards home plate.

Imagine what strength Bald Eagles must have in their wings to not only catch the fish but rise out of the water with it totally awesome!
