A mature bald eagle drags the tail of a fish across the surface of the water after picking it up out of the Susquehanna river. It was late in the day when the sun was setting casting an orange hue over the water.


I think it should be "head".

While the eagle is holding the fish by the head, the tail of the fish is what is still in contact with the water. The sentence as written in the article is correct.

"Dragging the tail across the water".

The head is in its claws.
