Video footage has captured the incredible moment a hiker finds two bald eagles tangled up in a tree.
Kerr Will captured the jaw-dropping moment he discovered the two massive bald eagles locked in a potentially deadly embrace high up in an Alaskan tree.
The stunned hiker was walking his dog in Kodiak on Super Bowl Sunday when he stumbled across the extraordinary scene – two of America’s most treasured national birds tangled together.
Incredible footage shows the massive birds hanging precariously from a branch, with their deadly talons gripped together.
He admitted that he had initially thought he was looking at ‘one huge bird’ before the heart-stopping realization that he was witnessing two adult eagles locked in a dangerous embrace.
After filming the dramatic scene, Will attempted to think of a way to help the animals.
