Behind my house , Dad has a woods
A pair of Bald Eagles have a nest there and I think they have eggs
As one of the 2 are always sitting on the nest
Last evening another Bald Eagle came and IMO tried to chase off the Male
A air to air fight started and ( I hope it was the new male ) one of the fighting Eagles landed in the field and the other one went to the nest after trying to hit the one on the ground several times with dives
My Sister in law and I walked sort of close to the one in the field and saw blood coming from a cut on the chest
So she called ODNR , Federal Game Wardens , Ohio Game Warden and a guy we know that works at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge
To get someone to pick up the hurt Eagle
About 11 PM 1 or more people came out and netted the hurt Bald Eagle and took it to be helped and then released again
All I can say , IMO the Eagles don't pull punches when they fight
As I could see talons and Beaks going at each other
And I feel the male from dads woods would have come back and killed the other male if we would have not been around till almost dark
