Bald Eagle Catches Dinner In Mid-Air



“This tiny starling didn’t stand a chance after a hungry bald eagle chose it as a mid-air snack. This incredible sequence of pictures shows the enormous bird of prey closing in on its target. The defenseless starling flies on, apparently unaware of the eagle behind it. But within seconds the eagle is so close its beak almost grazes the tail of the tiny bird. In one swift moment, the hunter’s razor-sharp claws have closed around its prey. Photographer Rob Palmer captured these incredible pictures in Colorado, U.S.”
