Immature bald eagle enjoying a large mouth bass.

Taken with D Reb, Sigma 80-400 os, Tamron 1.4 tc.

100% crops, I was a far away.

    Ian, start up that thread. I bet we could get a lot of posts to it.

    AJ, thanks.

    Jwear, I had a lot of time to shoot. I think I was watching him/her eat for
    about a half an hour. There were some ducks for me to shoot inbetween bites.
    (I didn't see the fish being caught, I saw the eagle on the rise up)


    The eagle was watching the crows, to make sure they didn't get his catch.
    The ducks, kind of stayed by me. I think they knew the eagle wouldn't come
    near me. I wonder why the ducks would be afraid?ne_nau.gif

    I don't know what happened to his foot, just guessing.:):
