eagle takes my fish
A really good video of an eagle taking my fish
Re: eagle takes my fish
That is incredible! I remember having an eagle dive down and grab a fish immediately after releasing a bunch from a tanker truck into Bradley Lake while working for the Puyallup Hatchery. We have 2 eagles that hang out on a giant madrona tree on the cliff in my backyard overlooking Liberty Bay, they are such cool animals! (But the squawking at 4 a.m. gets a little old ![[cursing]](./images/smilies/msp_cursing.gif "Cursing")

Up here on the Nooksack, it is incredible to see 20-30 of them in the trees right over your head. They sure love those old spawned out chum!

Re: eagle takes my fish
WOW! Cool video. Did you know the Eagle was watching your fish?
Re: eagle takes my fish
It was set up for that vid. The fish was laid there, the camera was set there and the Eagle could be seen in the tree. Why else would the camera be setting just right with the fish centered and camera focused on the fish. Yes the Eagles watch the fishermen to see if there is a fish they can get, same as on the lakes around here. I see the Eagles lots at a couple lakes I fish, and they sometimes will fly overhead to see if they can get something to eat. Hawks and Osprey also.

Re: eagle takes my fish
I watched a guy doing that a Lake Langlois last year or the year before. He caught a trout and kept tossing out for the eagles to grab. It was kind of cool to watch but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to feed the wildlife regardless of the end game.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the night. Light a man on fire and he's warm the rest of his life!

Re: eagle takes my fish
I have lost fish to sea lions, harbor seals, and a Bald eagle came by and clipped the end of a fishing rod that was in a rocket launcher on the back of the boat when I was off Neha bay after my Dad tossed back a Spanish mackerel and it dove down and grabbed that fish as it hit the water sorry no video none of it was planned, not even the mackerel just happened in an instant. I don't think you can prevent from feeding the wildlife sometimes they pretty much just take it and all you get is the privilege of viewing the occasion.... just me I think its cool ![[thumbup]](./images/smilies/msp_thumbup.gif "ThumpUp")
