Key Behaviors When Leaving a Perch

• Hunting and Scavenging: Eagles spend hours sitting high in tall trees or near open water to spot fish—which make up over half of their diet—or watch for waterfowl and carrion.
• Energy Conservation: Perching is an energy-saving strategy for raptors before launching into active flight or pursuit.
• Territorial Vigilance: A high vantage point lets them guard nesting sites or defend food sources from other birds.
