RAW VIDEO—See a Hawk Dive Bomb an Eagle Along the Fox River
The eagles still are landing along the Fox River—and in this case, one is under attack.
After the emergency disaster drill Friday at Geneva Middle School South, AJ demanded a walk.
So I took him on one of the usual routes to the Fox River, just to see how high the river might be.
The answer to that one: Still pretty high. We couldn't get through to Division Street along the bike path—the river still was over the bank and the Fox River Trail.

But on the way home, we saw a pair of eagles gliding overhead. They were much closer than you might think by looking at this video. I did my best to capture the majesty of the birds within the limits of my equipment and my talent.
What you'll see here is something a bit unusual: a hawk, I think, dive bombing the eagle, which was clearly in hunt mode.

Unfortunately, you'll have to look closely and quickly. I threw a couple of clips in for context. The dive-bombing incident happens in the third clip, among trees.
Do you have any shots or videos of eagles along the Fox? If so, please share them here.
