Eagles and Otters (what else???)

NorthernFocus

I've been too busy to visit the site lately. But not too busy to get a few captures. Here are a few from last weekend. Didn't carry my Nikon lens on the trip but the old Sigma 100-300 HSM held its own. Low light/high ISO.

This eagle chased another and made it drop a fish them scooped it up. Missed the fight but captured the snatch and run.





Really bad lighting on the otters. These taken with Sigma 100-300 f/4 w/1.4x TC.



Mother and child...



Lighting finally improved. Different bird, different day...

Those otters always crack me up.

That last baldy shot is super, Dan.

Nice series. It must be great to go on a day trip and get such cool action shots of the eagles. One day I would love to get captures like your second and last shots. I think that would make my whole trip an incredibly successful one.

I love the three eagle shots.. The first and last are my favourites though.

Thanks for all the comments folks. Rainbow, it's not exactly a day trip to get these images. It's a 720 mi. RT drive plus another 100 or so on a boat. Four days invested. But we got blueberries too
