I have always found the Bald Eagle to be one of the most regal of all creatures.

Last month, two bald eagles were battling it out in the air and their talons became so entangled that they could not disengage. Unable to get away from each other they fell to the earth, crash landing on an airport strip at the Duluth International Airport.

A wildlife professional came to collect the eagles, which were remarkably calm as they were picked up and moved. He didn’t have a container large enough to hold the two eagles, so he put them in the back of his truck, covering them and tying them down.

As he was driving toward the wildlife center, he heard the eagles having another tussle in the back of the truck and when he turned to see what was going on, one of the eagles jumped on his tailgate and flew off. The remaining eagle was examined and treated and both eagles were expected to live.
