Goldfish Bald eagles captured fighting for fish mid-air

The moment three hungry bald eagles locked talons in a vicious mid-air battle for a fish has been captured on camera.

The photo credit lists the photographer's name as Harry Egg instead of Harry Eggens.

Yow!

Wow. What an incredible photo. That make one heckuva desktop!
Maybe I'll do a google on the photographer's name and see if I can contact him for permission to use it.

That is a very cool pic - Red Kites often do battle around here, but they tend to do so with plenty of altitude, refusing to breach their hard deck to get within good camera range...
