Squabble over food shows slice of ‘everyday life’ of eagles: SORCO
Global News
A squabble over food is not abnormal behaviour for eagles. It’s just rare that people actually see the everyday life of eagles, says SORCO manager Dale Belvedere,
It seems even the animal world isn’t immune to family squabbles.
Video of two bald eagles in a tree this week wound up showing a glimpse of “everyday” birdlife.
Taken Friday morning in Summerland, at Kinsmen Park beside Okanagan Lake, the video shows the two eagles in a tree, chattering with another, with one holding what appears to be a fish in its talons.
After a minute, the eagle to the right hopped off the branch, swooped over and tried wrangling the fish away. The first eagle held firm, with the second eagle hanging upside down for around 45 seconds.
The camera is moved, and by the time the scene is composed, the second eagle isn’t there, though it quickly returns.
The camera is later zoomed out, where a third eagle, believed to be a juvenile, can be seen sitting on a higher branch in the tree.
A spokesperson with the SORCO Raptor Rehab Centre believes the two eagles are a mated pair.
“You can see in the video that they’re not aggressive with each other,” said Dale Belvedere, SORCO manager. “The smaller one just wants the food that the larger one is holding.”
