[Maine-birds] Bald eagle v Great Blue Heron

Today in the town park in Rangeley, I watched a great blue heron get repeatedly dive bombed by a adult bald eagle it started with a loon calling, then the park's population of ring-billed gulls takes off en mass then the GBH dives for the water. The eagle then repeatedly dives and the GBH loudly croaks and then lays down in the water. This all happens in the matter of a minute. As sudden as it started the eagle departed and the GBH flys off.

Crazy times in the mountains.
