A Juneau man set out to document bald eagles but got more footage than he expected.
The action-camera company GoPro shared its video of the day online, which claims to be of a bald eagle stealing a GoPro in Juneau.
In a web posting, GoPro said the original incident happened in May 2015.
According to the post, Matt Beedle set out to document the birds. He placed the GoPro on a nearby stump and put scraps of salmon on a log.
That’s when the GoPro took flight. The video shows the camera being picked up in an eagle’s claw and whisked away.
