The bald eagle: AMERICA’S BIRD. And to celebrate the avian symbol of freedom, this is a video of some anglers tossing a caught fish in the air, and a bald eagle effortlessly catching it in its talons. Impressive. For reference, I can’t even catch the appetizer shrimp a chef tosses at a hibachi dinner. Shameful, I know — I have terrible mouth-eye coordination. Honestly, it’s amazing I haven’t starved to death yet. Thankfully my girlfriend is willing to airplane-to-the-hanger feed me all my meals.

Keep going for the video, as well as a slow-motion version.
