p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Bald Eagle Grabbing Dinner

2 Eagles and 3 attempts later, this Eagle finally was able to get airborne. The first couldn't get it out of the water and had to let if go, then this Eagle tried and got it maybe a foot out of the water and let it go and this was his 2nd attempt and you can see he had to drag it a bit before finally getting airborne and never dropped it. I have all 3 sequences but this was the victorious attempt. Shot late afternoon during golden hour. Fairly heavy crop too.

Excellent, action-packed images, Eric! The fish is big; no wonder the eagle had a tough time getting airborne.

Nice sequence, Eric. Was it a snakehead fish or walleye? I saw a couple guys catching more than 10 snakeheads in less than an hour at the dam yesterday. They were heavy!

Hi Douglas, I am not 100% sure but the markings on the top and not a large tail makes me thing snakehead. It was certainly a heavy heavy fish
