Eagle with fish - sorry about the poor image

I was walking back in the direction of my car when I saw an osprey fly over Leaburg Lake. I turned around to see two of them chasing an eagle. As quickly as I could, I raised my camera overhead and shot a couple images. I got the eagle in this one but it all happened too quickly for me to make anything but a fast shot that just isn't sharp. It was a once in a lifetime shot (I hope not), so I just had to post it.

Cool you even got the fish!

Very odd shot. It's isn't all motion blur. I wonder why it made the purple fringe so bad? It sure must have been fun to watch. I would have stood in awe and not even got a shot at all.

A beautiful sight. Perfection in the shot isn't necessary. Hoping for the day when many more return to the wild.

Still a very interesting shot Vern

Not bad for a reflex action shot Vern.

I saw this happening along the river about a month ago: three ospreys chasing an eagle (which dropped the fish as it got away)... there's some great "food chain" action going on down there!
