Bald eagle drags fish sequence 12

This photo is part of a sequence in which a bald eagle drags a salmon from the Chilkat River only to eat it in front of the eagle that it dragged it up to. In this image (twelfth of the twelve image sequence) one of the eagles has dropped to the ground and stands firm, chasing the other eagle away. The photo was taken in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve near Haines, Alaska. During late fall, bald eagles congregate along the Chilkat River to feed on salmon. This gathering of bald eagles in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is believed to be one of the largest gatherings of bald eagles in the world.
