Wonderful action shots, nicely done! I like the ones where his feet are submerged! And that last one is just wild. :)

Awesome series! Great camera work capturing the action. Wish I could have seen it much less photographed it! Did you have to wait or spend some time setting up in a particulat spot?

Spent about 5 minutes setting up, lol. During the winter months the eagles tend to congregate near the locks and dams along the mississippi river, as it's easier for them to fish. At this particular lock, there's a viewing platform, and a nearby protected area for them, so there tends to be a lot of them, and they get very close to the platform.

Truly outstanding shots and a great series. Looks like a great spot for eagles that I'd love to get to someday.

I was wondering how you persuaded them to come right down to your feet but I see you've already explained how that works ;-)a
