I saw the same behavior by a mature BALD EAGLE at Seward Park a couple of
years ago. It repeatedly forced a group of ducks - I don't remember what
they were - to dive. As with your experience, this eagle kept at it for
more than ten minutes. If it was hunting, it was unsuccessful. I'd be
interested to know what other things might have been on its mind, if
anyone has other ideas.
