Great collection, Doug. #6 proves that this maneuver is a defensive one by the eagle being attacked, and is not always a mating ritual. If the eagle with the fish does not roll over and present its talons, it risks having the attacker's talons strike its back.

Thanks Tony. You're right, it's definitely a defensive move that turns into an offensive move very quickly. I've seen this several times but was never able to capture it.

Awesome job on all of these... loved this series... especially the last shot with the 2 of them... actually they are all too good to pick a favorite.
Thank you for the kind words Shelley, I got lucky on the last shot.
I don't know about a "good day", Doug. These shots are merely.....outstanding! Love the interaction and # 7 is my fave, buddy. Clear room on the couch, I'm on my way!

Wow Doug! Stellar work. I love the intensity on their faces. It looks like they are very hungry and serious about their work. The aerial fighting is amazing.
Appreciate the nice comments Mark. I imaginge they were very hungry, the day before it was brutally cold and thye did not do much flying, only to fish once in a while. It was a little warmer when I was there and they were making up for lost time.

Dang it Bruce - if you would have put oh I don't know, EAGLES in the title I would have seen this post earlier! Good stuff as always, I especially like #'s 3, 6, 7, and 10. Awesome action and compositions!

Thank you Scott, I promise, next time there will be Eagles in the title!

Thanks Jody! The dog won't like giving up her bed, but for you, I'll do it!
