Bald Eagle shares food with its mate - Bob Armstrong's Nature Alaska

This is my interpretation that the eagle is stepping aside to allow its mate to have some food.
There is a mated pair that lives and hunts in this area and it appears that they are male and female.
Female Bald Eagles are larger than males so when they stand together you can usually see the size differences.
This is a good example of the value of coho salmon carcasses later in the year.
