19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Lucky catch in Seward, Alaska
With so many fisherman angling for salmon in Alaska, bald eagles don't have to work too hard to find leftovers. But that doesn't mean there isn't competition! As soon as this eagle had food in his talons, two smaller aggressive birds tried to steal his lunch. The chase was on and made for quite an erratic flying pattern!
