West End Eagles ~ Territorial Dispute Between Intruder & Akecheta A-61! ⚔️ He Is Injured 😢 1.19.25

For the past couple of days there has been some intruder activity in the area that Akecheta A-61 has engaged with another eagle. The intruder is a sub adult with some dark spots on its beak & terminal band on its tail. The intruder is unbanded. Akecheta was in a territorial dispute with another male intruder sometime yesterday. It was not caught on cam but today he returns with injuries and blood on his face. The intruder is seen close to Thunder a couple of times today while Akecheta is on the tor to the far right. There was a 4th eagle flying around today caught briefly on cam. There were two ravens that were hanging around Akecheta for about 15 minutes before they flew off. Akecheta can fly but is choosing to stay on the tor overnight - Thunder K-91 flew back to her usual roosting spot. It is unknown the extent of Akecheta's injuries - they do look pretty bad. I am hoping & praying that he can recover from these injuries! ♥ It is unlikely that anyone will intervene in this circumstance of eagles fighting one another. Thank you for watching!
