Eagle air battles

These are amazing images! Could you tell why they were fighting? There is a story here that would be fun to know.

They are there tussling over the midshipmen fish as the tide goes out along with territorial encounters I believe but I'm no eagle behavioral expert. Thank you..
 
A few of the aerial challenges from Monday on Hood Canal. The first 3 are from a 34 image capture of a 360 degree plus spin after an eagle pair locked talons. I need to remember how to
make a better gif. The first effort introduced some banding.

Great action shots. I am impressed at how even the 1/1600 shots are sharp.
