Well the sun came out this afternoon and although it was cold, I ventured out along the Mississippi River (Pool 8) to see what the Bald Eagles and Tundra Swans were doing today. While photographing some swans, a group of eagles were chasing each other out in the middle of the river. (When they are chasing each other, it's usually due to food.) A juvenile had part of a coot in its talons and dropped the coot to another juvenile in mid-air. I was fortunate enough to capture this event with my camera. Although the photo quality isn't very good, it was interesting to watch the act unfold.
