Shadow delivers a fish that he refuses to share with a Sub-Adult visitor. The youngster sits in a tree nearby and patiently waits for any leftovers. Once Shadow is done with the fish, he chases the visitor away.
The Sub-Adult lands in another tree, where they get mobbed by a pair of locals Ravens, who may have a nest nearby. The presence of another predator is very undesirable for the Ravens at this time of the year, when they may have vulnerable chicks of their own to protect.. Eventually, the Sub-Adult was forced to leave.
Looks like the Sub-Adult molted at least once: likely hatched in 2021 or earlier. Bald Eagle Molting Sequence & Aging➡ bit.ly/3VdV6Rc
