Haven't had much time until now to get out to Jordan Lake, to try and find a good spot to hide and try to get some Eagle shots. Today was the day. The task was really to find an area with at least a couple of active Eagles. I tried a different area several weeks ago, but found nothing. Today was a success, even if I was way out of my focal range for the chance for some really great shots.
Here is a juve, whom I had previously scared out of a tree as I walked through the woods. He was no dummy, even being a juve. After he got out of sight, he waited 5 minutes.....and returned the the area to look for me. He flew right over the trail that follows the shoreline I was on.
This is one of the adults that was flying with a juve all around. It spotted me on the shore, in what I thought was a decent hiding spot. This adult did a loop, basically (what I think was) to confirm I wasn't a "normal" object on the shore.
It quickly made a sharp cut and flew out of sight. 
And again I was able to witness an Eagle trying to steal a fish from an Osprey. I did witness this last fall, and the Eagle was successful. It is still the most amazing thing I've witnessed in the wild.
This time, the Osprey got away. Way out of my focal length with the 100-400L, but at least proof I witnessed it. 
Sooooooo, now the funding starts for a 600mm.
