that fish got some democracy
Now it's decimated. Lol
And eagle got some Fish OIL!

Except America is a Republic, not a Democracy
@@JoeCJK The population has recovered.
The eagle was saving the fish from drowning.

Much like the Government takes care of me with Taxes.
Imagine being called bald despite having so much feathers on your head
7000 feathers on entire body at that!
yeah
@@junou1902 actually the figure is 7,200 for our National Bird of Freedom!!🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸
"Bald" means "white-headed" in Olde English.
😂
13 years and the cameraman catches one of the most unbelievable shots in history! Amazing!
You can go to the upper Skagit river and watch this for yourself. Happens every day.
You'll see 70 or 80 birds in the trees taking turns snatching fish out of the water.
November best month.
I lived near the Skokomish river in Union. Same activity on the lower river.
But more active on the Skagit.
No. tThat’s multiple shots from multiple angles of multiple Bald Eagles. There great shots, but this is really common
hello listen
they spent days, sometimes even weeks in the same location at times just to take a good shot. Nature documentarists are truly something else
The salmon didn't have enough freedom.
DialecticDr Salmon lives matter
W
It needed to be taken out of its lake to feel the freedom!
They were actually all dead already. Probably a plant for the shot
Salmon was Canadian
The Eagle never loses eye contact till the mission is complete. Such precision, elegance and beauty.
just like brahmos
0:15 fish: " wtf ? ! "
Lol. And a man never loses eye contact till he catches the ball. Big deal.
Yeah comparing man’s eye contact with an eagle is pretty dumb lol
@@Whisper0ak not all men…
Eagle saves a fish from drowning. So heartwarming
That man is fierce, no fear or terror in his eyes, but boldness. God bless this mighty creature and America!
*freedom intensifies*
salmon= rekt
Your profile picture made this 10 times better
@Clear Kim he lives in the future
as do memes
It just america'd the shit out of that salmon
👍👍👍👍👍👍aabb
getting oil reserve in salmon....literally
@@hyy3657 true
I literally passed out laughing at that lol😂🤣😁😅 we'll done sir, well done indeed!

The cameraman deserves a nobel prize for this shot
hello listen
We’d he handing out a lot of Nobel prizes. People document this every day.
This bird of prey is so precise. Kind of like watching a well trained gymnast. So many things having to happen with precision one after another, never misses a beat. Breath taking.
I feel like I just snorted a line of America into my nose.
Idiot
III7 you again? They’re just joking you idiot!
Lol
@@III-ip8uc Fuck off commie
That salmon must have been a threat to freedom.
The salmon 1 day earlier when dripping bombs on Americans: ALLAHU AKBAR
CCP？
@@excavatefairytale5907 yep
@@HuckleberryisonYT bro, not all muslims is a terrorist (just a reminder)
@@Littleboyz08 Yes they are
Grace and beauty all wrapped up in this majestic scene. I've seen only about 14 bald eagles in my life and each time the site was just jaw dropping awesome.
I see one daily because a few love 3 miles down the highway from me
what a magnificent creature! so majestic
hello .listen...
Wow...talk about precision! Screw a fishing pole I'd like to rent an eagle for 2 hours lol.
Yeah, you try to take that salmon from it.
People (licensed falconers) bird hunt using their falcons, and they DO get the birds from them, so it isn't entirely out of the realm of possibility. Also, one of the Far East countries has a history of using pelicans to fish. Their techniques involve a long leash around the neck of the bird and once the bird gets a fish the fisherman pulls on the role, constricting the birds ability to swallow the fish after catching it. Saw a documentary on it many years ago. Crazy to watch in action!
don't Mongolians use eagles to hunt?
Spectator Mag
It is amazing
They take 1min to catch one.
It's a good thing that we ignored Benjamin Franklin on choosing our National Bird.
Powerranger6342 what bird did he want?
Turkey
The wild turkey
Powerranger6342 a turkey of all things
(In a fancy voice)
How undignified.
The turkey isn't nearly as much of an elegant bird as the bald eagle
am i the only one with tears in my eyes? God Bless The USA!!!
The usa didn't create the eagle , idiot
Eagle: ooh oil
Salmon: Oh no the president!

Almirante Kiko you’re thinking of a golden eagle

Salmon was made of oil
TheConcluziioN made of communism
You're actually right fish are made of oil, though not petroleum lol. :)
Yeah cooking oil
Yeah "Fish oil" omega 3 is great I've never herd a squeaky fish! :)
Unsaturated healthy oil which has a lower melting point
Beautiful Bald Eagle. Love watching them flying with feathers all wide open.
Imagine just chilling and a big ass bird swoops down and grabs you by the face.
🦅

Its amazing how an eagle approaching its prey looks so similar to an airplane with flaps extended, touching down on a runway.
There's a reason we modeled our planes to look like birds.
True!
It's the opposite lol
Actually,
the jet fighter is more like Tuna.
Lifting body ＆ variable sweep wing
like F-14 and B-1 bomber
is similar to the Golden Eagle.
Definitely uses VFR/Visual Flight Rules, too, a little of both, maybe?
For America.
The videography is almost as amazing as what the eagle did!
These eagles are all like "Excuse me, just passing through grabbing some fast food. No biggie." Freakin' miracles of nature right here. Simply phenomenal.
the US citizenship test should just consist of being locked in a room with this video on repeat for 3 hours. for extra credit, you will be allowed to bring a case of bud light.
Brandon Clark crack it open......”freedom”
DILLY DILLY
Extra Texan

Fuck Yeah!
Never get tired of watching these beautiful birds in action

Background music
Sound effects
Footage
Everything was perfectly aligned
It’s fascinating to watch the Eagle’s head turn to follow the fish, like a baseball player tracking the ball towards home plate.
I saw this in Oregon on the Columbia river a few years ago . I consider this one of the most awesome things I’ve ever witnessed.
Wings of freedom.
Body of power.
Spirit of Courage.

The bald eagle is a relatively cowardly animal.

This is the most American thing I've ever seen.
Edit: Wow this got likes lol.
Well, did you ever see a veteran freeing a trapped Eagle on a branch, just using a rifle to that free fucker down?
meroinheroin 8ijh
Lazy jackass reluctantly puts in effort to catch something alive instead of the usual pilfering off some other raptor or eating out of a dumpster. Good image.
It flies n catch fish like a superhero.
@@Baryonx97 Animals don't understand the concept of dumpsters and excessive consumption. To them, we're just idiots wasting food. Why try to catch fish if a bunch of other creatures just gather all the food for you? Just fly over to a boat and get first pick.
Wow, talk about precision. The way the eagle slowed down and extended its legs only to where the water barely covered the feet, and the climb back up is very efficient. Eagles are truly majestic.
hello listen\
I love how angry they always look
That's badass.

@@RafaCL1980 Totally stupid analogy considering that North Vietnam barely had an airforce. Do some research before you try to sound smart by typing Anti-American bullshit. Try again kiddo.
daAnder71 r/wooooosh
Imagine what strength Bald Eagles must have in their wings to not only catch the fish but rise out of the water with it totally awesome!
So smooth!! Not a feather got wet!!( 🇺🇸
** here comes freedom **
Majestic. Absolutely majestic.
The eagle simply unleashed freedom on the salmon. What a hero!
It's amazing the concentration Eagles have, their eyes never leave their prey until the talons are on point....
Look at all that freedom in its majestical glory!
I must admit I just needed to see this for my country today
Amazing claw to eye coordination. 👏👏👏
What a beautiful graceful creation of God to represent America's freedom! God bless America 🇺🇸🦅🙏
THE LOOK IS SO MAJESTIC LIKE A EMPEROR !
Majestic freaking bird 👍
I remember seeing an eagle catch a fish out of Lake Michigan when I was in Michigan, it was so cool!
National bird of USA
Also known as national animal of USA
My god this is incredible.
I'm scratching my head on this one . . . how can 149+ people "dislike" this footage? It is amazing footage!
Suzanne Hensler Because it represents the US, and they don't like that.
Maybe because the moron refers to the bald eagle as a bald headed eagle. Maybe that's their way of saying the video poster is a nit-wit.
Democrats who raised their kids to hate America.
Maybe they’re upset about a video depicting a bald eagle being labeled as a bald headed eagle … 🙄!!
Disgusting. Eagles burn in hell!!!
Such a majestic, magnificent creation.👏🖤
Such a majestic creature ❤
At 23 seconds, you can actually see the eagles rear talon sink all the way into the salmons head. Instant death from above.
0:22
And at 24 seconds you can actually see the salmon rotating out of the eagle's grip. They cut all the clips at this point because the eagle most likely dropped the fish.
@@tenzinlee6393 it is only an animal, don't expect it to be perfect
So graceful.
0:35s ... back-tall "elevators" and wing "flaps" (+ wing-span) fully extended, for maximum aerodynamic lift, thus securing optimal strike speed, and laser-focused eyesight-on-pray, all the way until final strike.
Absolutely impressive, and all of it happening like a walk in the park.... BRUTAL !!
My new favorite animal.
Bpzro
Gives new meaning to the term "fly fishing."
This should have more likes
America Baby!!!!!!!!

You could say that again brah

Such an incredible, majestic wingspan. [from 0:43]
The Salmon just got liberated from water.
absolutely majestic
This takes really accurate sight, coordination, timing. Amazing how the eagle happens to have those things for its survival ;) Salmon's on the menu tonight!
Same for the camera operator.
hey listen i wan't to talk to u
I don't know why this brings me tears of joy I guess that its just such a beautiful magnificent creature and or its just doing its part in the circle of life idk it legit makes me cry though.
Maybe it's because you now realize why the bald eagle was chosen to be on the emblem of the United States.
Michael Brown you can't handle the *_FREEDOM_*
No, those aren't tears. That's the pure unfiltered freedom leaking out of your soul
Iv been living with these majestic anmals
This is America
Nature at work. Beautiful.
This is so majestic it hurts
Just a FYI =. The bird is a Bald Eagle, NOT a “bald headed eagle”.
FUN FACT: Whenever a bald Eagle flies to catch a fish, the dramatic music starts. Seems like fish would learn that’s the sign that an aerial predator is coming. 🤣
Too much MURICA in this video!
"
The bald headed eagle." 😂😂😂😂😂😂
xD
I wonder why more people have not found that hilarious.....😂😂😂😂
He was clearly liberating that salmon.
Gotta love how insane birds of prey's vision must be to spot something in the water that far!
living in maine saw this one morning on my way to work simply amazing will never forget it
No doubt he is the king....
the king living at the top:)
America has no king. In fact, I believe they fought a war over that.
@@toddsmitts just made my day brother!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
@Sumanth K S the queen of the ski is the boeing 747 though.
That wing span is insane!
'MERICA!
This is so amazing that I watched it twice... and then watched it again in 720p.
Eagles truly are incredible birds. Imagine the pinpoint accuracy needed to not only catch a fish, but a Salmon nonetheless. Salmon are incredibly fast swimmers and are hard to catch. For an eagle to not only spot the Salmon in the river and track its movement, but to also accurately scoop it out of the water is impressive as hell.
Phenomenal footage! Thank you!!
wow ..the most fascinating beautiful bird its like watching a dance
honestly i think big bird is the most graceful bird
Love the way the eyes (head) follows the fish right into the talons. Great.
🐎
Nice catch👍 and
🦅 is the True King👑 Of The Sky.
Bird: I'm taking this
Fish: aaaaahhhh
**salutes**
bird flies by without noticing.
Maybe T Rex or some raptors had white heads and dark brown bodies! :P
amazing head movement
Excellent footage
wow, such a cool video, it is easy, with slow motion, especially on the third one, the eagles intent, how many milliseconds are slotted for 'claws ready' , for 'snatch the prey' and then back to flight, never skipping a beat, simply amazing....
Such focus and concentration, damn those birds are good.
I'm glad the bald Eagle is so highly respected. ❤🇺🇸
Beautiful footage ty
majestic beauty...what an amazing predator!
