Thanksgiving Eagles
I decided to head up to a location I know for eagles here on the east coast for the Thanksgiving weekend. A couple of half frozen PB&J sandwiches weren't exactly the ideal Thanksgiving meal but I wasn't complaining. Hope you enjoy.

Beautiful pics, Mike. I especially like the shots with the fish in their talons.

I have quite a few shots of eagles fishing but the shot I'm really after is two eagles fighting talon to talon over a fish in mid-flight. Eagles, like many predators, can be pretty aggressive toward each other when food is on the line and they will attack each other trying to steal a fish. It's a hard shot to get and that is part of the challenge. Here is one that's getting close but not quite there. There's always next year...
