"The Flight of Peril" (Bald Eagle)

After securing a prey item, the flight to an eating tree can be a bit perilous for an eagle at the dam. Rivals are watching closely, especially immature birds laying in wait in riverside trees, and they're very likely to go after the bird with the fish. Indeed, just after this adult bird passed me, it was waylaid on its journey by two other birds, but fortunately ended up making it to a tree with the fish intact.
