Eagles are making their way through Nebraska

https://www.nptelegraph.com/lifestyle/local_column/eagles-are-making-their-way-through-nebraska/article_0e3043c8-00b6-11e9-8d6c-7355edbc9408.html


A bald eagle watches the South Platte river where the tailrace canal flows in the river. There are fish that roll on the surface after going over the waterfall at the end of the canal. If a fish stays at the surface for more than a few seconds, it will likely be this eagle's next meal.
