[Maine-birds] Bald eagles after wood duck

Watched two adult bald eagles circle and dive at a wood duck on Highland Lake, Falmouth this evening.  The wood duck was calling in alarm and managed to effectively evade their attacks by repeatedly bobbing under water, even when both eagles starting swooping in more and more frequently.  I have to say I was pretty impressed by the wood duck.  After a few minutes, the eagles gave up and flew off.  I'm sure all three birds were exhausted!
