No Wake 1421
With pinpoint accuracy and a gaze fixed in a pinnacle of concentration a bald eagle dives for its prey. Its tail feathers momentarily break the water’s surface with nary a splash or a wake. Overhead, it may make a pass or two, watching its mark and lining up an approach. Its goal it to pluck the fish from the river without entering the water. Occasional miscalculations can drop an eagle into the drink. Although I have seen an eagle fly away after being submerged, on most occasions they must use their wings to swim to shallow water, frequently with the fish still in tow. #BaldEagles
