Surface Tensions 1720

The Bald Eagle is an opportunistic feeder. It will take a variety of animals, both living and dead. It subsists, however, mainly on fish, that it plucks from the water with amazing grace. Most of its hunting, therefore, takes place at the air water interface, a physical boundary between two bulk phases, namely liquid and air (or liquid vapor). The physical property of water (and liquids in general) that give its surface form, essentially pulling the molecules together, is called surface tension. In the nature of fish and eagles this scientific term has a more poetic interpretation. #iLoveWildlife #iLoveNature #WildlifePhotography in #Maryland #Nature in #USA #Bald Eagles #DrDADBooks #OneNation #WildlifeConservation
