Fishing Sequence - Talons Ready

I particularly like this one as you can just see the fish on the surface and how intensely the eagle is concentrating upon it. Very cool!

Thanks Gus and Gayle. Gus, the average weight of a bald eagle falls somewhere between 10 and 14 lbs according to what I've read.

Do you know off hand how much a Bald Eagle weighs? This is another stellar addition Guy. g

Terrific action shot. I've never seen one with the fish showing in the water.
