Bald Eagle Scoops Up & Eats Fish On The Fly In Majestic Slo-Mo Video

This bald eagle gives "fast food" a whole new meaning. I could watch our national bird go to town on fish all day long. I've probably seen 100 videos like this one, yet I never get tired of watching the majestic creature utilize all of its skills to scoop up fish with ease. It's truly remarkable, which probably helps to explain why I replay clips like this over and over again. Bald eagles have some of the sharpest talons of all predatory birds, and their exceptional eyesight (which allows them to spot prey up to 2 miles away) really supports the phrase “eagled eyed.” That saying had to come from somewhere, didn't it? And there might not be a person on planet Earth better at capturing bald eagles in action than Mark Smith, of Mark Smith Photography. I highly recommend that you give him a follow if you enjoy viewing action-packed bald eagle footage set to breathtaking orchestral music (so basically if you're American, you'll like what Smith puts out). You might as well call him the "Bald Eagle Whisperer" with all of the magnificent clips he gets of our national bird. This one has to be up there with some of his best work (maybe just beat out by this flock of baldies ) and his description of the footage explains what makes witnessing this fish-feeding so special: "With eight razor-sharp talons at their disposal, snatching a fish from the surface is easy for an experienced bald eagle. Couple those talons with over 7,000 feathers and the ability to effortlessly steer their massive body toward a food source, and it’s easy to understand why eagles rule the skies."

If that video doesn't get you fired up, I don't know what will. I'll just be watching that clip of our national bird scooping up a fish and then tossing it into its own mouth MID FLIGHT on repeat for the rest of the day. Hold all of my calls. Social media users were also blown away by the beautiful footage, and shared these comments below the post: "The way they fling the fish into their mouth--with such ease and precision -that free fall moment when the fish is suspended in the air as the eagle "flies" into the fish - truly amazing!" "Amazing how long you managed to track this guy. I've had relationships that didn't last as long as this." "Snack on the go! I’m always amazed at how they can see the fish so easily! Eagle eyes."
