Michelle,
From the red epaulettes on that bird's shoulders I think it's a member of the
avian police force, and is attempting to nab a thief :)

Unless this is a photograph of a different eagle, I believe there is a story
behind Don's incredible photo. As we were looking out over Sheldon Marsh, a
Great Blue Heron rose from the reeds with a rodent in its beak. It settled
behind some other reeds, out of sight. A few seconds later, an eagle swooped
down to the exact area where the heron had landed and then flew into the air
with a rodent in its talons. We assumed a bit of thievery had taken place.
Great photo, Don.
