white-tailed eagles in Poland

White-Tailed Eagles, Poland

I took this image during my last trip to Poland, where I was amazed by these birds. It seems like every one of them wanted to dominate the group. Displays of such mild aggression were very common.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? The first thing that grabbed me about this photograph was the obvious—the moment of interaction between the eagles. But after spending more time with this picture, I also came to appreciate the smaller birds on the periphery, like spectators at the main event. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
