Once in a Lifetime Shot...Bald Eagle eats fish


Chris and I had been waiting for about an hour and a half to get photos of a Bald Eagle. Just as we were about to leave, I saw the eagle approaching, talons down. It dove towards the lake, scooped up a fish, and then fought off a hawk trying to steal it in mid-air! Then, it landed in a tree and ate the fish about 40 yards from us. Wow. I am so blessed to not only have witnessed this, but was able to capture the moment. Fingers crossed for more photos!

All photos taken with Canon 5DMKIII 100-400 Canon L-Series lends, edited in Lightroom 4 and Ps CS3.
