Dang, Ian, it looks like you live in a bird "war zone."
I hope you get combat pay for sharing these awesome shots.
Amazing!

Ha, thanks Barry, he didn't even know I was there.

Wow...that bird knows how to fish! Great shots Ian.

Indeed, he knew what he was after Sandy.

You know, a few weeks from now he'll be hanging out with the other eagles talking about the time he caught three fish in one swoop and the other eagles are going to say "pics or it didn't happen".

LOL, I can supply him with the proof!

Ian ... I don't even know what to say. This is simply too awesome. Good thing you have the pics (or it didn't happen ) BTW ... all technical stuffs are top notch, too.

Much appreciated, Linh. I was really afraid I was running out of light. I had been sitting for about 2 hours with no action other than the odd eagle flyover, high in the sky.

Cool sequence Ian! He had more fish than he knew what to do with.

He did well, didn't he Brad?

Great set Ian, first time I've seen a bird catching more than one fish at a time.

Thanks Mark. I've seen it happen before, it was just being there to capture it all.

Wow hungry fella, great capture Ian.

Thanks Dan. It was almost dark, so I think he was just after his bedtime snack.

Unbelievable shots, never would have thought....3 at a time. Did he share with anyone else??

Thanks Cheryl. Not that I could tell, he was the only one who came down from the trees to grab some, but he did eat 2 or 3 so he may have taken some in his crop back to the nest.

Hahaha, wow! These are absolutely amazing, Ian. What a great fisherman this bird is. He's got it down to an art!!! Terrific set of images.

Amazing capture Ian.

Fantastic captures Ian. Piggy, Piggy is right.

Thanks John, when one is hungry, one must eat! This month is like a grand feast for them with this month-long run of these fish.

Bet he went to the aerie w/ a bellyache that nite. Awesome series as usual, Ian!
