Had some awesome light on Feb. 13th and got to see a lot of action. Here is one a dozen fishing sequences I was able to catch in the last hour of the day. Wish I hadn't clipped the wings in the first couple shots.

Ive heard so much about Lock and Dam 14 and the Eagles there a truly wonderful place to photograph these birds up close, we don't have anything remotely close to this in the UK, you guys are so lucky, a great series, well done.

Excellent series, how easy they make it look

Agreed on both counts...
and I'd add a third: How easy YOU make it look to capture such a beautiful in-flight sequence.

Excellent work on these Chris.
