was near the dam sun. afternoon wasn't doing so well in the fishing dept. looked up and there was one above me circling too cool>

I was wondering if he was still there. Was he fishing with those big eagle claws?

Use to see them all the time at Palistine.

They are still on Palestine. We saw one just about everytime we went hunting up near the mouth of Kickapoo this year. I also saw one on Lake Tyler diving at a coot that he had found. The eagle would dive and the coot on the water would disappear under. Happened quite a few times but did not get to see who won that battle.

I was fishing Palestine about 6 weeks ago and was drifting in on a flock of diving birds. Before I got close the birds scattered and a bald eagle dove right into the water where the birds had been, pulling out a nice sized white bass. Wish I had a video.

I didnt think anything would want to eat a coot.....

Eagles pretty much switch from fish to coots right now at Toledo Bend. At least that's what I've seen, this is my first year here.

Saw one on Pool last year in Feburary in the back of Split Creek, they are freaking HUGE! They frequent a few areas I fish on Texoma also, last weekend I saw one trying like heck to get a coot that was singles out of the flock. It was pretty entertaining, the coot kept diving under just in time to get away.

very cool
