What a crazy fun scene to witness. I was photographing a bald eagle that was devouring the remainders of a rabbit. Nearby, a sub-adult eagle was watching, waiting for its opportunity to steal the meal. It launched, going right at the adult, forcing it to drop the meal and fly off of its perch. It was a crazy, hectic scene and I managed to capture it all.
If you look closely, the rabbit falls in two bigger pieces. One falls down to the ground which the adult tried to catch but could not. But, look at the moment the two eagles meet face to face. The sub-adult actually snagged one of the pieces out of mid-air! It would go on to another perch and finish its hard-won meal.
