Great behavioural set. These guys/gals do this for fun a lot of the time. It is often over fish but often not from my observations over 5 days in AK.
A very dramatic event, Morris.
Far away- true- but you caught the action well.
As incredibly powerful as eagle talons and feet are- I tend to think such "attacks" within the same species are less than 100% serious.
But that's a city-boy guessing .

thank you Charlie,
Eagles do this to mate so with young ones they could be flirting or at it

I agree with you Charlie. I believe most displays such as this between juvenile and immature bald eagles are practice This behavior is normal. I have seen this behavior many times. Frequently seen between parent and 7-month offspring. Practice makes perfect for the real art of stealing fish or chasing off interlopers.
