Behold, this majestic eagle captured in slow motion.

Facebook user Ashton Phillips uploaded a video he shot of a bald eagle swooping in to steal a piece of fish off his boat -- all in slow motion.

And as much as eagles represent the mighty spirit of 'murica, the video was actually captured in Vancouver, Canada during what he called a "rest and relaxation" trip.

One hundred points to Canada for its beautiful scenery and amazing salmon-loving eagles.
