From Ridgefield NWR, Washington. It is incredible just to be able to watch this, but to actually be able to capture it is a real thrill.

Thanks for the comment - we counted it a really good day, just seeing this happen in front of us. They are a majestic animal. And life in the wild is tough.

Super shot to get, Dave! He must have been really hungry. I know they do grab ducks but I've never seen it happen in front of me, so good shooting!

Thanks Ian - We couldn't see the actual grab - the lake is just over a small berm from the road we were on. But looking at several other shots we got the feet and beak hanging from his talons couldn't be much else. Beautiful birds.
