Bald Eagle takes a Heron (Pender Island, 2016)

My mom caught this amazing footage of an eagle swimming to shore, a Heron in its talons having claimed it in a brief skirmish above the water. She says...

"We were cruising out of Port Browning, in BC's Gulf Islands, when we noticed a commotion just over the water ahead of us. It was a mature bald eagle 'chasing' a young blue heron - which was ultimately forced into the water. We changed course and headed toward them, thinking we may need to stage a 'rescue' (of both birds, because by then the eagle was in the water too). By the time I got out my camera, this is what we saw...."
