Years ago, I watched in fascination as two immature bald eagles sparred in the air over Cabell County’s Green Bottom Wildlife Management Area.

The two birds swooped toward each other, locked talons and tumbled toward the ground. Moments later, they disengaged, swooped upward to regain lost altitude, and did it all over again. This went on for several minutes, and neither eagle was injured.

Two eagles in Lake Oswego, Ore., apparently need some sparring lessons. Their recent set-to ended with one of them injured, in captivity and headed for a raptor rehabilitation center. The Oregonian has the full story.
