- Abstract
The article presents information on the observations that were gathered from group hunting of immature Bald Eagles. It describes the eagles' techniques as versatile predators including direct aerial pursuit and swoops to the water's surface. It details the comprehensive documentation of several groups of bald eagles in pursuit for gulls. The relationship between group hunting of Bald Eagles and capturing live preys, such as gulls are cited. It further discusses the difference between group or simultaneous hunting and communal or cooperative hunting.
