An adult and a juvenile bald eagle chase off a newcomer on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2017, near Muskrat Ditch in Fort Collins, Colo. Up to eight bald eagles had congregated near a pond and could be seen snatching fish both from the open water and right off the surface of the ice.(Photo: Timothy Hurst/The Coloradoan)
