🦅 But trouble looms overhead. A bald eagle, scanning from above, sees the helpless nestlings as an easy meal. As top predator of the skies, it preys on the vulnerable, causing panic among the colony.

💥 As the adult cormorants raise the alarm, they must protect their chicks—hidden from the eagle’s deadly gaze. Though this time it's a close call, the eagle is not done hunting.

Watch the daily battle of survival, from desperate feeding frenzies to heart-pounding aerial threats, in this gripping wildlife story of predator and prey.
