an eagle at the park

[squirl033]

this baldie flew over clutching a fish in its talons, heading for a large fir tree where they like to roost and eat (or just survey their domain)... 40D, 400mm, 1/1250 @ f/8

That second shot is a classic. Well done :thumb

Nice! That fish looks so tiny in its huge talons!

thanks, everyone... i have to say, it'd be nice to get some shots of these guys down closer to eye level... shooting up against the bright sky makes it hard to get any detail under their wings...
