BE7805.jpg Bald Eagle catching salmon
Bald Eagle catching salmon (sockeye)--here it is trying to lift several pounds of fish from the water. Unlike many fishing birds, should the eagle loose its momentum and end up in the water it would have to swim. Pacific Northwest. July. Looks like it is walking on water to me.
