A guy at work showed this to me:

This footage was taken at MallardLakes subdivision in Baton Rouge .
Someone had shot a nutria, and it was floating dead in the water.
I can't believe what this eagle did to bring that nutria in.
I never saw an Eagle doing a breast-stroke before.

I've seen them do this for large fish. Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the post.

Why, yes I have. Also, some Elks, Moose, Kiwanis, Optimists and Rotarians.

There's one in every crowd.;-) 😉 😉

I have never seen one do the breast stroke either, even after watching that video. That's mainly because that eagle is doing the butterfly stroke.

Did you see part 2 of this video where they shoot the eagle?
