Ever saw an Eagle doing a breast-stroke?

[BobSch]

This footage was taken at Mallard Lakes subdivision in Baton Rouge .

Someone had shot a nutria (Muskrat), and it was floating dead in the water. I can't believe what this eagle did to bring that nutria in.

I never saw an Eagle doing a breast-stroke before.

Isn't it more like a butterfly stroke?

That's one determined carrion feeder.
