Dataw Island resident Mark Pritchard and his wife witnessed something that is probably a common occurrence but not necessarily commonly witnessed. On Wednesday, Oct. 4, two adult bald eagles having a territorial dispute landed in his yard, where they continued to fight. Pritchard, who contacted Birds of Prey, watched and photographed for 90 minutes from less than 25 feet away. Then, in a matter of seconds, the two separated and were airborne.
