The other day I was crossing the causeway between Lowell and HWY 58 when I saw two Bald Eagles attacking a lone duck. The eagles were attacking in a manor that caused the duck to stay under water except to breath. As I watched the eagles would take turns attacking there prey when it surfaced for air. The duck was doomed, the eagles had timed their attacks as to keep the duck under water. As the duck surfaced one of the eagles was there to attack which ment the end was inevitable. Having never seen such an event, I was shocked. I saw no anger just extreme intent and primal fear. After several minutes of my observing I decided to run for my camera which was at home and only minutes away. When I return I found a calm atmosphere with no sign of the raptors or their pray. My guess is the eagles were feasting not to far away.
