Thanks! These were taken at Conowingo Dam this morning.

I have a ton more. Including a lot of fishing sequences, and chase sequences/ other eagles stealing the catch from another.

Was a fun day even with no sun

Super shots. Your eagles seem to be better fishermen than mine

The chase pictures - I think the one with the fish in the air between the two is an amazing picture. It's something just to be able to see that. To capture that second of time in nature with so much action is the story I want to tell with my photography. I tip my hat. Well done.

Keep 'em flying,

These are some of the best eagle action shots that I have ever seen here. Just outstanding!
Which lens did you use? your Sigma or Canon ?

Thanks a lot everyone!

There was so much activity that it was difficult to pick what to shoot at times. Dozens of Eagles fishing and chasing each other for about 4 hours.

They all went away though once two dudes in a fishing boat anchored down right in the path of where the Eagles had been fishing.

These were taken with the 400L and 1.4 extender.
