I apologize for the poor quality (and the inane commentary...lol) as I only had my cell phone and no camera today! We were sitting in the car at the Marblehead Boat Launch off Pool St in Biddeford today, and saw an adult Bald Eagle hovering over the water and then it dove into the water. He stayed in the water for a few seconds (longer than I thought he could!) and then emerged with a mallard!
He then dropped the mallard about 20 yards away and then an immature Bald Eagle dive bombed it repeatedly before giving up and both moved away. Apparently, it had not yet learned to wait for the duck to resurface like the adult did!
The whole video is just under 4 minutes, but I was amazed!
