Bald Eagle Body Slam! Immature Bald Eagle gets body slammed into the river, knocking a fish out of it talons after following a mature Eagle too closely and messing with it's fishing. Video starts with the young one "tailgateing" the adult. I've included a little soft focus to add context to what happened before the slam. I repeat the contact part first at 1/2 speed, then at 1/4 speed to allow you to see it better. Please watch to the end for the very slow motion version. Below Lock and Dam 21 in NE Missouri on the Mississippi River 2.20.23.

That wasn't a body slam. It was a talon attack that drew feathers and likely an injury. Great footage.

IF that Eagle wanted to kill, it would have... it nothing more than a food fight, which Eagles are known for...
