Casey Holland, a mortgage loan officer from Earlville, Maryland, woke up to a wild show on the morning of June 7. Just behind his kids’ swing set, a red fox and a bald eagle were squaring off for dibs on a pile of fish that Holland had caught and cleaned the night before. He grabbed his phone and started to record as the two predators circled each other in a tense backyard standoff. While bald eagles are iconic for their patriotic symbolism, they are also highly opportunistic scavengers, quick to claim a free meal when they find one. They are also fish eaters. Red foxes, on the other hand, are omnivores known to test their luck against larger animals if they think it means a quick and easy meal. However, it’s rare to catch these two predators negotiating over dining rights at the same breakfast table.
