Any Wonder Why The Eagle Is Our National Symbol?

Take a look at these amazing pictures of this young eagle fighting off a determined fox over some carrion.   Supposedly these pictures that were e-mailed to me were taken somewhere in Montana.   Wow…what drama plays out daily in the outdoors world as creatures of all kinds struggle to survive.   Chances are the four-legged predator isn’t accustomed to losing a battle to a bird.   Then again, we all know the eagle is not your ordinary feathered creature.

  1. This is a really good picture. A lot of symbolism as well.

  2. That photo was not taken in your country.
    It was taken Finland.

  3. Those photos have been online for a couple of years now and were taken in Finland in February 2006 by wildlife photographer Pekka Komi.
    Amazing photos nonetheless.
